4/10/23: BETHLEHEM, PA – Lehigh heavyweight Nathan Taylor (17-12, EIWA 2) has been named to InterMat Wrestling’s All-Freshman team announced Monday. The deferred first-year wrestler was an EIWA Finalist and was selected as the top first-year heavyweight in the country.

Yes, great recognition for a fine season. His EIWA semis win over Harvard was his signature win. Pinning Oklahoma to save the dual wasn't too shabby either.

Looking forward to his continued development. He's a real threat to place next year IMO.

Good stuff. Continuing our tradition of high quality heavies. Lot of upside still with Nate as just a freshman and with all of the great coaches/partners working with him.

Saw that Harvard (Slavikouski) transferred to Rutgers.

Will be interesting to watch his further development vs that of the young Navy heavy. In my mind its hard to find a better room in the country to develop as a heavyweight and he seems to have made a large leap both from beginning of RS year to that yr end and another from beginning freshman yr to yr end.

Just another reason to renew the Rutgers rivalry!!

Well deserved recognition for Nathan!!!

**** I like Nathan a lot, as he has matured by going with Zac, Kerry and Jordan. He is big and fairly nimble. If he can improve his quickness and agility a little bit he does have the potential to place. Best Wishes in that regard.

Bit of work on bottom too - a common freshman problem. Love how he's wearing people out with the heavyweight "push the head down" game on his feet and of course he has the best 285 blast double I've seen in a long time. Kid looks strong as an ox and he's not going to be getting any weaker the next few years. Every chance to stand on that podium - at least once.

I'm warning you guys to stop all this negative posting about Nathan Taylor.

**** I for one am not posting anything negative about Nathan. He has progressed nicely. He just needs a little more quickness and a little more agility to finish his ability to his full package.

I think he was kidding
