Backups who will make a name for themselves this season

[nhs67]

I am anticipating a fire 133lber to transfer in to Michigan as a Grad Transfer.  Been hearing some rumblings.

The I's need to be crossed and the T's need to be dotted, but Trephan laid the foundation to do this rather swimmingly.

It looks like Evan Mougalian will never crack the penn lineup , he was a 2x NJ state champ and 3x finalist ,he beat Stanich many times in high school, it would have seemed crazy to think a few years ago he ll never wrestle in a postseason but he’s in the Wharton school of business so I think he’ll be alright in the long run 

I went to the Keystone Classic last year and he caught my eye as a tough kid.  Maybe he preserves a year of eligibility for a grad transfer?

I was hoping that would be the case until I saw he’s in the Wharton school of business. For him to transfer it would mean putting off a career and 6 figure salary and most guys arent willing to do that .. for the record through I really hope he gets a season

Who have you heard about? I’d love to see a guy who would be a backup this year come in. Obviously they wouldn’t be available till second semester, but Omar Oyoub from Nebraska is a U20 medalist behind Van Dee. But maybe someone like Garrett Grice, who’s burried down at Iowa State could be a good option, he’s a NQ.

Neither of them is either a senior or a grad already, so can't be a Grad Transfer as specified by the OP.

Man he was so good and impressive to watch back in HS.  Had a great rivalry with Pitt's Anthony Santinello back then as well.

Yea that was a great rivalry , I thought Santinello would have a better college career bc he was so good on the mat in high school but for whatever reason it didn’t translate … I was always impressed Mougalian accomplished all he did at a small school that didn’t even have a full team and who never had a state placer before him and maybe 1 or 2 state qualifers ever

Is Anthony done with college already?  The years are starting to become a blur...
