When Donald Trump announced that he would be attending the final day of the NCAA Wrestling Championships 2025, Carter Starocci was excited for the same. A few days before the finals, he opened up on the impact of the visit.

In his conversation with the media ahead of the Championship finals, Starocci said,

“He came to nationals I believe my sophomore year and it was really cool. He’s obviously a big fan of combat sports. He’s at all the UFC events, so I think it’s good for our sport, and kind of like Gable [Steveson] said, he’s going to watch the best wrestling on earth." [via Nittany Sports Now]

Interestingly, Donald Trump had also attended the 2023 championships, when Starocci won the NCAA title for the third time in a row. The 24-year-old revealed his admiration for President Trump as he added,

“I like watching his interviews because he’s a big personality. He has a set of big b*lls. I like how his mind works. Pretty big being with him."

Carter Starocci created history at the NCAA Wrestling Championships as he became the first wrestler to win five titles in a row. The Penn State Nittany Lions wrestler defeated Parker Keckeisen of Northern Iowa to win his fifth NCAA title.
