4X Jr. National Champ, 3X Ohio State Champ, Oklahoma State University National Champ- Alan Fried on St. Eds, Walsh Jesuit, his legendary coach and the journey to becoming a legend.


Alan Fried joins The Dynasty Effect for an unforgettable conversation about becoming one of the greatest wrestlers ever produced by St. Edward, the influence of legendary coach Howard Ferguson, and the early days of a rivalry that would eventually become Clash of Dynasties. Fried shares stories from youth wrestling, his 4 Junior National titles, the pressure of living up to expectations, and the moment he realized he could compete with the best in the country.


He also takes us inside the impact of losing his head coach suddenly during his freshman year in college and how it changed his life forever. From handwritten letters and unforgettable lessons from Ferg to a surprising connection with one of Walsh Jesuit's Hall of Famers, Fried reveals the people and moments that shaped far more than his wrestling career.
