Catka redshirted in 2022, he battled Mullen for the starting spot last year. Should be good at Rutgers.

165 - Max Brignola, Lehigh, returns.  Went 18-0 in a redshirt season last year (wins over Ramirez and Mantanona, top 8 seeds at NCAAs); that doesn't count two wins over Louie Cerchio.

Lehigh returns four redshirts.  Crookham and Stanich were A/A's two years ago, Nathan Taylor was R-12 with two wins and two s/v losses.  If everyone stays healthy, this could be our best tournament team in more than a decade.

This is Hunter's brother at UVA...redshirted in 24/25.

[Truzzcat]

not sure if he counts but I believe Kaleb larkin is returning from Grey shirt/Red shirt/ Med shirt so hopefully we finally get his debut year 4.

I think he is an automatic contender to be a high AA if he can stay healthy/find the right weight class, but that is based exclusively on his FS performances, considering he has wrestled 2 matches in Folk since graduating HS in 2022!

Should see Kyler Larkin in at ASU as well. Would think he would be an immediate impact guy. He is coming off a greyshirt as well. Those two in the lineup will make ASU better right away. 

[Hoyt Matthews]

Not sure if I saw him in there but Ferrari from Iowa would obviously be a guy with huge immediate impact as well.

nhs67 mentioned Hunter, Ryan was brought up after but you're correct he would count assuming he wins the spot. Not too familiar with who else if anybody UVA has at HWT.
