The 9th Annual Grappler Fall Classic is set for October 13th, 2018 in Michigan
As the Grappler Fall Classic has continued to evolve over the last 8 years a premiere pre-season National Tournament, we continue to see familiar faces of former GFC stars having success at the college level.
This year's NCAA tournament will be filled with former GFC competitors, including some of our greatest champions.
The most notable GFC alum in attendance is Mark Hall of Penn State, one of only two wrestlers to ever win 3 GFC titles at the high school level. Hall is a returning NCAA Champ looking to defend his title at 174lbs.
Other returning NCAA All-Americans to watch this weekend who made the GFC their stomping ground in high school include: Alec Pantaleo (Michigan), Justin Oliver (Central Michigan), Logan Massa (Michigan), and Jacob Kasper (Duke)
In all, 25 former GFC athletes are in action this weekend, representing 16 different college programs. #GETSOME
