Scouting Report
Fall 2010 - Rau has been one of the top wrestlers in the state throughouthis career and has really been on the map since his freshman year when he handed BJ Suitor his first loss. He finally got the monkey off his back last year and won his first state title and odds are that he will win his 2nd state title this year. He did a good job of getting out a lot nationally in the past year and while he failed to place or earn All-American status at any big time events, he fared
well against many top name guys at the Americas Cup, Junior Duals, and Fargo. He has proven that he can hang in matches with these guys and that alone benefits him because college coaches know that he is not afraid to get out there and mix it up with the top guys in the land and that he is just a few adjustments away from beating some of those guys. As previously stated, his offense on his feet is dangerouse and versatile and he is really capable of taking down anybody. At times he has a tendency to shut down a little in big matches, however, his wealth of national experience should do a lot for his confidence and I would not be surprised to see him breakout this year at a big time event, whether it be The Grappler Fall Classic, Super 32, or Senior Nationals.
