JT1Wrestle Takes A Look At Montevallo 2026-2027

 


If you've been following along & reading my thoughts team by team on the upcoming 2026-2027 season, you know I've mentioned the late Ron Steube numerous times thus far. He loved wrestling & was very passionate about its growth in the south.  He started a program back in the 1970's at Chattahoochee Valley & was instrumental in the first time Huntingdon had wrestling.  He loved watching wrestling thrive in the south & I know if he were still around he'd be so thrilled to see how well the Falcons are doing. 

Montevallo put 8 on the award stand at Super Region II last year & they did so with mainly southern boys from Georgia & Alabama.  Three NCAA D2 qualifiers.  Only two do not return, as the other six look for more success in 2026-2027. 

Both Max Stedeford & Jeff Tubbs ended their careers one match shy of being NCAA D2 qualifiers.

Cole Hunt

29-4 on the year, the Georgia native won a Super Region II title, along with finishing 7th at the Midwest Classic.  He also won the Pepsi Patriot Open & the Georgia Open.

Noah Smith

10-1 on the year, I would definitely look forward to some big things out of Noah Smith this season.

Kaden Brown

20 wins on the year, Kaden Brown finished 5th at Super Region II & 2nd at the Pepsi Patriot Open.

The two-time NCAA D2 qualifier heads into his senior season with back-to-back 3rd place showings at Super Region II.

Aiden Knight was 5th at last year's Super Region II
