Lycoming College

For nearly a minute, Corl held Wis.-La Crosse's Spencer Nevills, with Nevills legs floating in the air, his head on the mat and one shoulder pinned to the mat, held down by Corl's left arm, while Corl's forehead would have bored a hole into the mat if it could have. The third-period's two minutes never ticked by more slowly as Corl stayed motionless and Nevills paralyzed.
 
When he finally let go of the hold and Nevills escaped, it was too late to matter. Corl won 6-1 and became Lycoming's 70^th All-American at the 2018 NCAA Championships.
 
A two-time NCAA qualifier, Corl was in his second year as a member of the wrestling team when he hit the podium at the NCAA Championships, finishing his season with a 35-6 record and becoming Lycoming's third straight All-American at 149 pounds after Seth Lansberry earned the honors in 2016 and 2017.
 
The Bellefonte, Pa., native won the NCAA Southeast Region title the next year at 157 pounds and ended up a three-time regional placewinner, going 87-23 in his career with a school-record 28 tech falls at the time of his graduation.
 
A two-time NWCA Scholar All-American and a three-time member of the MAC Academic Honor Roll as a business and economics major, Corl actually stepped away from wrestling during his first year at the College in 2015-16 before joining the team the next year and going 11-8 as a backup to Hadyn Swartwood '20, a two-time NCAA qualifier.

After graduation, Corl became a data collection technician for the U.S. Postal Service in Lock Haven, Pa., married his wife, Riley, in 2022, and has dedicated himself to becoming an above-average golfer.
