Etu Leads Five Greco-Roman All-Americans on Final Day in Fargo
The Stafford wrestler makes the 16U finals and is a double AA
Action in Fargo wrapped up on Saturday evening as Greco-Roman All-Americans were crowned in both the Junior and 16U divisions. Team Virginia finished with a Junior All-American and four 16U placewinners, led by Will Etu. Etu was a Greco-Roman finalist and the only Virginia wrestler in 2025 to earn a podium spot in both styles.
At the Junior level, it was Hayfield’s two-time state champion, Ethan Osburn, who earned All-American honors after a remarkable run through the consolations. The Pitt-Johnstown signee lost his second Greco-Roman match and reeled off seven straight consolation wins to clinch a spot amongst the top eight. Osburn’s final two wins came over DI recruits from the Class of 2026.
The key sequence in Osburn’s bloodround matchup took place in the final :30 seconds of the contest, while trailing Illinois’ Jaxon Penovich, 6-4. Osburn had a throw at the edge of the cylinder and was initially given four points. After a challenge from the Illinois corner, it was deemed to be worth only two. Even so, Osburn had criteria in his favor and proceeded to hold off Penovich.
Etu started his tournament with three straight wins via tech. Things got tougher in the quarters and semis, where he’d have to pull out one-point wins to make the national finals. Etu was the definition of clutch in the semifinal against California’s Braylen Bieber. Bieber got a step-out point to take the lead 6-5 with :18 seconds remaining in the second period. Right off the whistle, Etu created action with an arm spin attempt that left Bieber in control from a front headlock. Etu peeked out all the way up to his feet and was able to hustle his way to the winning takedown with only two seconds left in the bout.
Along with Etu, another Virginia native made the podium at 190 lbs. Ibrahim Zaky finished fifth at the weight. Zaky cruised to the quarterfinals before losing to the eventual champion, Peter Mocco. Zaky bounced back with a : 30-second tech fall to lock up All-American honors in the bloodround. He finished his tournament with a tech fall victory in the fifth-place bout over an opponent who had beaten him in the freestyle tournament.
The other semifinalist for Team Virginia, other than Etu, was incoming freshman Reza Massjouni. Massjouni didn’t place in freestyle at 138 lbs, but moved down to 132 lbs for Greco. In his quarterfinal match that confirmed All-American status, Massjouni teched the only opponent who had beaten him at the 16U National Duals.
After a semifinal loss to the eventual champion, Massjouni came back with two impressive wins to claim third. Massjouni’s third-place bout was highlighted by a beautiful five-point grand amplitude throw.
Another rising freshman, Zach Leftwich, found the podium at 215 lbs. After a tough quarterfinal loss, Leftwich used a big first period to jump out in front of Illinois’ Samuel Swais, 6-2 at the break. Leftwich held off a Swais rally and added some late insurance points to prevail, 11-7. He would drop his next match and medically forfeit to eighth place.
Taven Williams, at the Junior level, was the Virginia wrestler who advanced to the bloodround on Saturday, but came up a match shy of the podium. Both of his losses in Greco-Roman came against the same opponent.
