Darracott is a RS Senior.  He redshirted a long time ago.

Monteiro is definitely not redshirting.  He's participated in 6 dual matches this season.   He's also wrestled 14 matches this season (7-7 record).

Norman has been in 4 dual matches this season.  And he's wrestled in 16 matches this season (9-7 record).

Michaelson has not competed at all.  Yet he's the one Stanford has for 174 lbs on the 2024 PAC 12 bracket.

Agree to disagree.   We'll see what their year in school status says next year.  Norman/Monteiro (as well as Tyler Knox) will all be RS frosh next year.  Darracott will be a RS senior (he is currently just an academic senior, not RS senior).  He gets an extra Covid year regardless.

Anyone know why? Looks like he wrestled in their final dual versus Stanford. 

Yes.... it's now public that he had a season ending injury. 

I feel horrible for the kid...If you don't know Matty, he is one great kid. To go down 2 weeks before Pac 12 is pretty heart breaking. He has one more season left.  Rough season for him all around.

You are correct.... Ayers isn't going to burn shirts for four guys in the same weight class ... from an earlier post...

Since most of us are blocked by Thumper NearFall Bronco, he won't see this, but...The redshirt status is based on dates not matches.... They get 5 attached dates and they cannot wrestle unattached first semester.

Rule from NCAA: "Men's Wrestling. In men's wrestling, a student-athlete representing a Division I institution may compete in up to five dates of competition during the student-athlete's initial year of collegiate enrollment without using a season of competition. " 

Montiero has preserved his redshirt...he only has 5 dates even though he has a lot of matches .... 2 tournaments, one that was unattached, and three duals were on the same date. Lorenzo also has kept his redshirt - he only has 5 dates on his record total. He wrestled attached at the Scuffle and Montiero did not.    So Stanford fans have nothing to worry about, they are good.
