MINNESOTA’S MAX MCENELLY ON CARTER STAROCCI: ‘HE HASN’T FACED ANYBODY LIKE ME’..
Minnesota’s Max McEnelly is confident about his upcoming match against Penn State’s Carter Starocci, saying “He hasn’t faced anybody like me” ¹. McEnelly, a redshirt freshman, is undefeated with a 20-0 record and has won 85% of his matches with bonus points. He recently defeated defending Big Ten Champ Edmond Ruth from Illinois with an impressive 11-3 major decision ¹.
McEnelly’s bold statement is backed by his impressive performance this season. He believes he can push Starocci, a four-time national champion, and even win against him. When asked if he belongs in the same elite circle as Starocci and defending national champ Parker Keckeisen, McEnelly replied, “Yeah, 100 percent. I plan to prove it tomorrow” ¹.
The highly anticipated match between McEnelly and Starocci is set to take place in the Big Ten Championship finals. Starocci, seeking his fifth national title, will face a tough challenge from McEnelly, who is determined to make a statement.
