We're coming down the home stretch of the collegiate wrestling season and have a full schedule of DI duals this week. A total of 53 duals will be contested. Since it can be difficult to figure out where and when to watch all of these events, InterMat has put together a list of all of the live-streamed events occurring this week. Below are the dates/times and how to watch each match (with links). All times listed are Eastern.

We are just about at the turning point where last season’s results and memories start to fade into the WrestleStat archives and the general wrestling community ramps up the interest and speculation of the upcoming season. And when it comes to Fantasy College Wrestling, drafters need to start thinking about who they want to pick in their 2024 draft. One way to do this is to look at the results of the 2023 season. The 2023 FCW Top-20 at each weight can give you a good idea of who the top Fantasy wrestlers in the country are. Seeing who returns, who leaves, who outplaced who, what teams made these lists more than others… all important information and data to digest. Of course, things can change quickly in college wrestling. Wrestlers can transfer, injuries can happen, and new stars can emerge. But the 2023 FCW Top-20 is a good starting point for your fantasy draft preparation, as you will see some (many, actually) repeat names from the 2022 Top-20 articles and even 2021 Top-20 articles. Take for instance: Pat Glory (PRIN), Yianni Diakomihalis (COR), Keegan O’Toole (MIZZ), and Carter Starocci (PSU). That championship group scored 223 Fpts in the 2023 season. How about these names though: Caleb Smith (APP), McKenzie Bell (RID), Evan Barczak (DREX), and Tyler Stoltzfus (LHU). That group scored 313 Fpts, and none were All-Americans. As you look at the list, keep in mind that not all of the top performers are household names. Some of the wrestlers who scored the most points in 2023 were not All-Americans. This is just one of the things that makes fantasy sports so exciting and unpredictable. So start your draft preparation today by taking a look at the 2023 FCW Top-20. You might just find some hidden gems that can help you win your league in 2024. To compile these lists, we used standard WrestleStat Fantasy College Wrestling Data & Scoring. Just a reminder of how points were tallied in WrestleStat leagues: 1) The scoring used was Standard Team Scoring across all competitions (+3 for a win by decision, -4 for a loss by Major, etc) 2) Scoring only counted against D1 competition 3) Wins via Forfeits (FFT) would count as +6 towards a wrestler's point total 4) Wins or Losses by Medical Forfeit (MFF) did not count as + or - towards a wrestler's point total 5) Points were only accumulated during the regular season Notes: Every year, one weight seems to outshine the rest when it comes to Fantasy. This season, that weight was saved for the heaviest of weights. The race for king of the weight class, and what turned out to be the #1 Overall Ranking of the 2023 season, came down to the last day of competition. Mason Parris and Wyatt Hendrickson entered the last week of competition separated by four Fpts (Parris with 112 and Hendrickson with 108). All Parris had to do was win and he would be crowned the #1 Fantasy Wrestler of the year. Hendrickson would need to win by pin or tech and have Parris either not wrestle or lose. Hendrickson did his part by pinning Northern Colorado’s Xavier Doolin, but Parris also did his own part and won by major and thus is your #1 Fantasy Wrestler of 2023. Grady Greiss followed up his 2022 showing with another Top-3 finish, besting his 2022 score by 20 Fpts. SIUE’s Colton McKiernan makes his first Top-20, in fact making it as #5, with his best fantasy season in the past four years. The same goes for Duke’s Jonah Niesenbaum who eeks into the Top-10. And speaking of best fantasy years, it may surprise you that the 2023 version of Anthony Cassioppi was his best (2022 was #18, 2021 was #23, and 2020 was #12). Of his 19 matches, 10 were won by pin and one by DQ which helped boost him up the ranks to #4. Falling on the opposite end would be Greg Kerkvliet, who comes in just outside the Top-10 as opposed to his 2022 finish of #4 with just about the same number of matches wrestled. The 285 weight class had six wrestlers in the Overall Fantasy Ranks within the Top-20. No other weight had more than two in the Top-20. Who Missed The Cut: The only All-American to miss the cut was Trent Hillger, finishing at #34 with 24 Fpts. Six losses during the regular season, including one by pin, will do that. Boone McDermott (RUT) fell just under the Top-20 threshold, accumulating 37 Fpts in his 19 matches in the regular season. He edged out Ohio State’s Michael Misita by one Fpt who finished as the #22 fantasy wrestler at 285. Cal Poly’s Trevor Tinker tied Binghamton’s Cory Day on Fpts, with Tinker gaining the edge in PPM (1.6 to 1.4, respectively). They finished #23 and #24 in the 285 fantasy ranks. In the battle of True Freshmen redshirts, Harley Andrews (NEB) and Chase Horne (NCST) wrestled the same number of matches, with Andrews getting the better rank by one Fpt to finish #25. Other notables to miss the cut include Tate Orndorff (OHST) at #26 with 32 Fpts, Zachary Knighton-Ward (HOF) at #30 with 26 Fpts, Konnor Doucet (OKST) at #35, Ben Goldin (PENN) at #40 with 20 Fpts, and Dayton Pitzer (PITT) at #45 with 17 Fpts (in 10 matches).

This is the second time Barczak has made the Top-20, last year coming in at #15 with only 45 Fpts. In 2023, he used his career-best 55.6% regular season bonus rate to become the #13 overall Fantasy Wrestler of the season. Second place Izzak Olejnik and third place Peyton Hall, however, are different stories. Both are three-time Top-10 Fantasy Wrestlers at 165, and both had their best finish in 2023. Previously Olejnik had been #7 in 2022 and #4 in 2021, while Hall was #4 in 2022 and #9 in 2021. Another Top-10 staple in the FCW ranks is Princeton’s Quincy Monday. He was one point behind Peyton Hall for third, and only had one loss during the regular season (to Julian Ramirez, #11 on this Top-20). You can do the math on that one. In 2022, Dean Hamiti wrestled 21 regular season matches and finished with 93 Fpts (#1 at 165 and the #3 overall Fantasy Wrestler in 2022). He also had a PPM of 4.4. This season, he wrestled 21 matches again, but finished with 68 Fpts which was good for #7 at 165 this past season. His PPM also dropped to 3.2. Several factors here, with a drop in pins (eight in 2022 and three in 2023), a slight drop in techs (four in 2022 and three in 2023), and two additional losses than his 2022 self. Gardner Webb’s Roderick Mosley started the season going 5-4 against D1 competition, which was all in the month of November. As of December till the end of the season, Mosley went 18-1 and six of those wins were via bonus. The lowest ranked NCAA Champion across all weights to make it into a Top-20 was Keegan O’Toole coming in at #17 (there was one 2023 National Champ that did not make it into the Top-20 at their weight… more on that in a few articles later). It’s surprising, because last season as a True Freshman he finished at #3 with only 17 matches and a PPM of 4.6 (which was tied for 3rd out of any other wrestler in any other Top-20 in 2022). This past season he had an ADP of 4.84 (Average #3 overall) and had a PPM of 4.1, the best of anyone in the 165 Top-20, but with only 13 matches. Four more matches with wins by Major, he would have been #7. O’Toole tied Clarion’s Cameron Pine with 53 Fpts (who had 18 more matches than O’Toole), but a 1.7 PPM which was tied for the lowest in the 165 Top-20. Six losses will do that. Patrick Kennedy and Alex Facundo had very similar seasons: both had 18 matches, Kennedy had a PPM of 3.1 and Facundo 2.9, but Kennedy finished 3 Fpts higher and can be directly related to their match on January 27, 2023. That’s fantasy wrestling, one result is the difference between 15th and 19th place. Who Missed The Cut: The only 165 AA to not make the Top-20 was Cam Amine (MICH), who only had 12 matches in the regular season amounting to 32 Fpts. He finishes as #30 for the 2023 Fantasy season. The #21, #22, AND #23 wrestlers all wrestled 21 regular season matches, but Justin McCoy (UVA) gets the “first man out” nametag over #22 Joshua Ogunsanya (COL) and #23 Brevin Cassella. They finished with 48 Fpts, 44 Fpts, and 42 Fpts respectively. Danny Braunagel (ILL) started the season going 13-3 in qualifying Fantasy scoring matches. After that (after Midlands), Braunagel went 3-5 for a net -6 Fpts, which sunk him to #28 with 35 Fpts. At the beginning of the season, Ohio State had a surprising wrestle-off result at 165 lbs, where Bryce Hepner challenged Carson Kharchla’s place in the Buckeyes lineup. While Kharchla was solid and a bloodrounder, he only wrestled in 12 countable matches and two of those were losses by Pin (-12 Fpts). Placing 47th in the 165 ranks, he finished with 15 Fpts. His counterpart, Hepner, wrestled six matches and accumulated 12 Fpts (good for 52nd). Other notables include Cameron Steed (MIZZ) with 37 Fpts at #26, Braxton Lewis (VMI) at #29 with 33 Fpts in 33 matches, Austin Yant (UNI) with 31 Fpts at #32, and Tyler Swiderski (ISU) coming in at #50 with 13 Fpts.

In Fantasy though, it only amounted to a finish at #63. This past season? He’s your top 157 Fantasy Wrestler with 94 Fpts and a 4.1 PPM (in 23 matches). That’s the second-best PPM in the whole weight, only to bested by #3 Austin O’Connor on the 157 Fantasy ranks (4.6 ppm in 16 matches). Sandwiched between the top two wrestlers, Kendall Coleman started the season winning six of his first nine matches by bonus, and solidifying himself as the #2 with a pin in his final match of the regular season. Remember in the previous article I mentioned the Quaker switcheroo? The second part of that was Anthony Artalona who bumped up and finally made a Fantasy Top-20. Artalona was 5th with 65 Fpts, but had he completed his pin against Cobe Siebrecht (IOWA) instead of getting pinned, it would have been a 12-point swing and landed him as #3 instead. National Finalist Levi Haines and Stanford standout Daniel Cardenas were the only two true freshmen to make the Top-20, both wrestling 21 matches and almost identical PPMs (Haines with a 3 PPM and Cardenas 2.8 PPM). The difference looks to be that, despite both taking a loss, Haines had eight bonus matches against D1 competition to Cardenas’ four. Both had an ADP of over 118. The two non-starters of the Top-20 also had very similar seasons in that #12 Caleb Dowling (19-6 against D1 competition) and #20 Cole McComas (19-7 against D1 competition), but it was the extra loss by McComas and the almost 50% bonus rate by Dowling that was the difference in placement. Sometimes in Fantasy Wrestling, all that matters is getting the “W” on the bout sheet. That's what Peter Pappas did, wrestling 22 matches and only securing four bonus wins (one being a FFT to start the season). The transfer from Edinboro to George Mason hadn’t won more than 13 D1 wins in a regular season (2020), and this past season he had 18 along with his first qualification for Nationals. Josh Humphreys may have just made his first podium appearance at Nationals, but it’s not the first time he's made the Top20 in Fantasy Wrestling for a season. In 2022 he finished at #10 with 53 Fpts in 18 matches. This past season, he accumulated 47 Fpts in only 12 matches (due to injury) which got him to eek into the Top-20. He missed the full month of January, where Lehigh had six duals, and the way he was wrestling he could have gone 6-0 in those matches. An additional 18 Fpts would have landed him at #5. Who Missed The Cut: All-Americans Will Lewan (MICH) and Bryce Andonian (VT) not only met in the 7th place match at Nationals, but also met back-to-back in the fantasy rankings going #27 and #28. Lewan finished with 31 Fpts in 21 regular season matches while Andonian had 30 Fpts with only nine matches. #21 Jarrett Jacques (MIZZ) started the season with seven straight wins, with four of them being via tech. After that, however, Jacques only recorded one bonus win (a pin over Rider’s Jake Silverstein at the Scuffle) in his next 12 matches where he also had three losses. He finished with 45 Fpts. Kaden Gfeller (OKST) slots one spot back behind Jacques with 43 Fpts and the lowest bonus rate of his career (16.7% in the regular season and 10.3% for the entire season). The second-highest wrestler from Central Michigan in 2023 for Fantasy was Corbyn Munson at #23. He went 2-2 at the Michigan State Open to start the season (winning by major & tech and losing by tech & pin for a net -2 Fts, and a short streak at the Cleveland State Open, but where he jumped up the ranks was in the last stretch of the season (also known as “Dual Szn”), going 9-2. He finished with 37 Fts and four Fpts better than Wyoming’s Jacob Wright. Other notables include Tanner Peake (DAV) who finished with 32 Fpts, the same amount as Jacob Butler (formerly of OU) but with a 0.5 PPM better than Butler to get the #25 spot. #29 goes to Indiana’s Derek Gilcher with 30 Fpts, Jason Kraisser (ISU) edges out Cobe Siebrecht (IOWA) 29 to 27 Fpts to finish #31 and #32 respectively, and Paddy Gallagher (OHST) ends the 2023 fantasy season at #50 with 17 Fpts in 16 matches.

In the previous two seasons, he had claimed the top spot by the smallest of margins (by two Fpts in 2021 and one in 2022), but this season he was by far the best fantasy wrestler. He outscored #2 Michael McGee by 16 Fpts. His Average Draft Position (ADP) has increased each year as well, being ADP 16.52 in 2021, to ADP 8 in 2022, and this past season as ADP 5.31. A battle for 2nd place in Fpts was won by Michael McGee by one point over Lucas Byrd, despite McGee wrestling six less regular season matches. Both McGee and Byrd have been mainstays in the fantasy top-10, both improving their finishing spots year after year: Byrd finishing 6th in 2021, 5th in 2022, and 3rd this season and McGee finishing 10th in 2021, 4th in 2022, and 2nd this season. Neither had an ADP within the top 25 in any season since 2020. Two University of Penn wrestlers make the Top-10, with starter Michael Colaiocco finishing at #4 and Evan McGoualian at #10, just beating out Sam Latona by two Fpts. Another pair of teammates make the Top-20 from Campbell with back-and-forth starters Gabe Hixenbaugh (#9) and Domenic Zaccone (#15). Both had about the same number of matches, but Hixenbaugh made the most with his matches having a PPM almost one Fpt higher than Zaccone. Finishing almost identically in the #5 and #6 spots were Gable Strickland and Kurt Phipps, respectively. Both wrestled over 35 matches, both had nine regular-season losses, the same PPM (1.8), and just one Fpt separating them. The difference looks to be Strickland's slightly higher bonus rate. A model of fantasy consistency, Roman-Bravo Young has finished 8th this past season, 7th in 2022, 8th in 2021, and (you guessed it) 7th in 2020 in the Fantasy 133 rankings. Excluding the 2021 shortened COVID season, he's also finished with 13 regular season matches and 61 Fpts in 2023, 14 matches in 2022 and (you guessed it) 61 Fpts, and in 2020 had 18 matches with 66 Fpts. Just like how the finals played out, Vito Arujau narrowly beat RBY to finish 7th by one Fpt (though Arujau had four more matches wrestled). Might be crazy to say, but this is the first time he has finished in the Fantasy Top-20 at 133… mainly because he wrestled 125 in 2022 (where he finished 14th), and he wasn't enrolled for 2020 and 2021. With his last year of eligibility available (and confirmed he WILL be wrestling the 2024 season), I expect at least a repeat in Fpts production… at 133. Who Missed The Cut: It hurts me to type this, but Micky Phillippi fell just short of making the Top-20 by four Fpts. Had he won that tiebreaker dual against Kai Orine, he would have eeked in and finished 19th. Speaking of Orine, the All-American finished 34th due mainly to five losses, four losses by decisions and one by major, equalling -16 Fpts. Another fellow All-American Aaron Nagao, formerly of Minnesota, also fell outside the Top-20 as he only had three qualifying bonus wins and a loss by pin at the Southern Scuffle by Brayden Palmer. Nagao was the #26 Fantasy Wrestler at 133. Since we talked about teammates earlier, the two Lehigh teammates finished back-to-back at the #30 and #31 positions: Connor McGonagle (27Fpts) and Ryan Crookham (26 Fpts). True freshman Nic Bouzakis finished at #29 with 29 Fpts, while Chris Cannon claimed the same number of Fpts as Crookham, with almost double the amount of matches, but finished at #32 due to his PPM of 1.2 compared to Crookahm’s 2.4. Some other notables include Dylan Ragusin (MICH) at #24 with 35 Fpts, Chance Rich (CSUB) at #41 with 21 Fpts, and Rayvon Foley with 17 Fpts at #50. Don't see your favorite wrestler on the list?
