Iowa State wrestler Pat Downey is active on Twitter, which might be an understatement.
Coach Kevin Jackson has said multiple times this year, “If you’re following Pat on Twitter, you shouldn’t.”
The 184-pounder has only wrestled in seven matches this season due to various injuries, but that hasn’t stopped him making his voice heard.
The focus of Downey’s tweets on Monday was on him becoming a National Champion.
He proceeded to call out two-time defending National Champion Gabe Dean.
Then he opened up about why he was taking this time to open up on Twitter.
Downey wasn’t quite done, though. He had to get one shot in on Penn State’s 184-pounder Bo Nickal and coach Cael Sanderson, who wrestled and coached at Iowa State before he left to coach Penn State.
