Hi Coach, my name is Brandon Cynar.

👋

I am a senior in Chesapeake, VA currently wrestling 126lbs. I am extremely excited to be transitioning to the next chapter of my life. I look forward to seeing what opportunities open up for me both academically and in my wrestling career.


This is my fourth year on varsity, wrestling under Coach Brandon Hardy. For more information on our story, see the 13 News Now video below. I finished my junior high school year undefeated at 48-0 and am the current pound for pound 120lb Virginia State Champion.


I am a 2-time regional champion. I am a 2-time Virginia State Finalist and current champion. I am a NHSCA finalist/All-american. I have also had the honor of being part of the national team 3 years running. I have been named outstanding wrestler for multiple tournaments including the Virginia Duals.


I have three bothers. In my off time, you will find me working out at the gym with friends or one of my brothers. I also enjoy going to the beach. I referee wrestling tournaments for the younger kids. I enjoy encouraging and mentoring the kids who share a love for the sport.


I love folk style wrestling and enjoy learning new techniques from various coaches. I have had the privilege to wrestle under some amazing men. I am constantly honing my skills with freestyle and Greco-roman.


Once I graduate high school, I am looking forward to studying business in college and eventually earning my MBA. I want to attend a college who takes both academics and wrestling seriously.


I am very dedicated and want to get to the next level. I am looking for a college and coach that will partner with me in my dream to be a multi-year All-American and competing at the highest level.
