Barron. I've seen him sprint to a buffet table. I didn't have a stop watch on me, but I'm guessing he did a 4.23 forty.

Probably someone who does not get a lot of media/internet publicity.

I like Ryan;s comments in choosing between our 3 5 star athletes when ranking our football recruits-choosing between ferrari's. well, when you choose between RBY and Aaron it is a similar choice. I was disappointed when RBY was relatively passive in a prior wrestling meet but he sure did well this weekend-who can keep up with his quickness-nobody in college wresting right now. Curious what he does after leaving PSU which he says he will do after this season. tough as he is between Olympic weight classes! Aaron is just so consistently good-after losing that 1 match in 2020 he has such a great win streak. they are 2 best on campus NOW but I for one am hoping we will be debating in the future which one of our 3 5 stars is the best male athlete on campus now.Curious who is the best woman athlete on campus-any soccer player or the woman runner Johnson who has done so well?

It's about safe to say he's on the PSU wrestling team. RBY or Aaron Brooks seem to get the nod over Nick Lee and Carter Starocci...... But those 4 are each the best at their position within NCAA competition.

No one on football team can make that claim. And I don't believe any PSU male, or female for that matter, can make that claim in any other sport either......

Lee is my fav wrestler but A A Ron gets the nod cause what he can do while so big.

There are probably a few guys on the gymnastics team that would be in the running.
The problem is that “best athlete” is, ultimately, undefined. If you consider “best athlete” to be someone who is strong, flexible, fast, smart, and has an engine that doesn’t quit, no matter what, it has to be a wrestler. In gymnastics you don’t have someone trying to kill you.
