Ranked second in his weight class, Escobedo led the Hoosiers to a sixth-place team finish as he won the 125-pound tournament. The Griffith, Ind., native won six bouts, three by major decision, one by technical fall and another by pin. Now at 12-0 on the season, the senior knocked off two ranked opponents during the tournament in No. 20 Jason Lara of Oregon State in the quarterfinals and No. 3 Anthony Robles of Arizona State in the championship dual.
