Bo Bassett has made his feelings known about Wyatt Hendrickson's strategy that won him the NCAA Championship over Olympic champion Gable Steveson. In a discussion on the Wrestling Mindset podcast, Bassett had this to say about Hendrickson (1:44 onward):

"Wyatt Hendrickson is one of the coolest dudes I’ve ever met in the wrestling community, he’s an awesome person. I met him on a visit to Oklahoma State and then I’ve known him cause I was training at the OTC for a while and he went to Air Force right, so I made a connection there."

The two-time PIAA State champion continued by saying that Hendrickson's belief in himself got him the victory:

"He believed in himself and when you believe, man, anything can happen. He had that confidence and again wrestling is a sport where anything can happen. He was in deep first 20 seconds or so, and then Wyatt found that funk and scramble, you know, the heavyweights put on a show with some action."

Hendrickson recently managed to grab the Dan Hodge Trophy for 2025, an award which is presented to the best college wrestler in the country. He won it over the likes of Penn State's Carter Starocci and Mitchell Mesenbrink.

Bo Bassett will represent the University of Iowa in 2026, and will look to make his NCAA debut. He is also a three-time Ironman champion, and won the bronze medal at the 2024 U20 World Wrestling Championships.
