Conor Collins didn’t get in a typically full slate of wrestling matches last season. In fact, he didn’t accumulate even 20 matches, thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic that significantly shortened the season.

However, the Southern Regional standout started and finished strong – ending up 17-2 and an NJSIAA state tournament runner-up at 113 pounds – and the junior 120-pounder is expected to make plenty of noise this winter. He got off to a great start on Dec. 18 during the Rams’ Robin Leff Tournament.
