In having this conversation with some friends and my father I found myself thinking that the topic would be a good one to discuss on this forum. I don't really have a specific definition for what would constitute a "breakout wrestler" except to say that I am looking for people's opinions for who is going to be that wrestler that, at the end of the season, we all look at and say, "we didn't truly see that coming."

My breakout wrestlers from my favorite squad would be each of the Yohn brothers. I think a healthy year for Sonny and Cody wrestling at a weight (174) he feels is a better fit for him will mean for stronger seasons than expected for both. I would go so far as to say that a healthy Sonny should (and I predict will) be able to hang with anyone in that weight class and will be in the running for an individual title. I do think Cody will be an AA this year at 74. I am sure this will be looked at as more of a leap right now but I think he is more of a fit at 74 which will lead to a higher than expected finish for him, I predict.

I look forward to reading the opinions of others....
