INDIANAPOLIS — As No. 24 Purdue Wrestling’s starters competed against No. 11 on Sunday, 11 underclassmen Boilermakers competed in the annual Greyhound Open, hosted by UIndy.
True freshman Isaiah Schaefer (141 lbs) won his second consecutive tournament crown just eight days after winning the first title of his career at the Wabash Open. The Evansville, Indiana native went 5-0 on Sunday with two technical falls, a major decision and two decisions. Schaefer amassed a total score of 63-17 and improved to 13-2 on the year.
He beat Nebraska's Jake Hockaday in the finals in an impressive 7-4 decision. Hockaday was a three-time Indiana state champion out of Brownsburg and the No. 30 overall recruit in the Class of 2025.
Schaefer, the 2025 Indiana state champion and Fargo All-American in Greco-Roman and Freestyle, looks like a force to be reckoned with for the foreseeable future in the Boilermaker lineup. Earlier this season he defeated No. 25 Kade Moore in his first-ever college match at the Tiger Style Open. Schaefer is redshirting this season, so he will have four more years of eligibility beginning in 2026-27.
Four other Boilers earned placement in Indy; Vincent Paino (133) and Isaiah Quintero (125) each notched runner-up finishes. Paino went 4-1 with a fall, tech. fall and major decision. Quintero earned two decisions and a pin on his way to the title match, finishing 3-1.
Adrian Pellot (165) went 4-2 to place seventh and Dominic Burgett, wrestling in his first matches all season, earned four wins as a heavyweight to place eighth.
