We’re right in the middle of the collegiate preseason which means coaches around the country are starting to figure out how their 2024-25 lineup might sort itself out. Sure, they have their own personal depth charts and preferences for how an ideal lineup could play out, but it doesn’t always work that way. Sometimes the injury bug bites. Other times there’s a late, unexpected weight change. Or maybe a freshman is even better than expected. However these things may occur, this time of year can also be used to sort out lineup battles between teammates. The best teams tend to have at least a couple of second-stringers who are capable of pushing starters and potentially taking their spots. Below are 12 scenarios where a team has multiple quality options at a particular weight. Pay attention as these battles might get decided in the coming weeks or they might play out for a portion of the regular season. Iowa State (133 lbs) - Evan Frost/Kysen Terukina Last season’s 125 lb starter, Kysen Terukina, is moving up for Iowa State and will have to go through All-American Evan Frost to earn the starting role in his final year of eligibility. Terukina is a three-time national qualifier who comes into the season with a 43-28 career record. Last year, Terukina picked up wins over two eventual All-Americans (Eric Barnett/Tanner Jordan). Frost did not come into the 2023-24 season with as much fanfare as many freshmen; however, he quickly established himself as a key player at the weight. He was a runner-up at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational and Big 12’s before taking sixth place at NCAA’s. Oklahoma State (133 lbs) - Cael Hughes/Reece Witcraft Aside from 125 lbs, the first four weights for Oklahoma State could contain some moving parts. The veteran is Reece Witcraft who has been a team player and moved up and down between 125 and 133 throughout his collegiate career. Witcraft can get the job done and has proven as much with a pair of NCAA berths on the resume. Last year, while filling in for Daton Fix, Witcraft posted a win over #21 Julian Chlebove (Arizona State) at the CKLV Invitational. Cael Hughes is a redshirt freshman who was ranked #8 overall in the Class of 2023. Hughes was excellent while redshirts and accumulated a 12-1 record between 133 and 141 lbs. Hughes certainly has the talent to warrant a preseason ranking; however, most of his action last year came against non-DI competition. Iowa State (141 lbs) - Jacob Frost/Zach Redding The larger of the two Frost twins, Jacob, will also be in a battle for a starting spot in the Cyclone lineup. This weight is expected to be open with All-American Anthony Echemdenia moving up to 149 lbs. Jacob saw action in a pair of duals last season and in one open tournament - going 5-2 overall. Zach Redding is a veteran who has qualified for nationals twice for the Cyclones and even made the NCAA Round of 12 in 2023 at 133 lbs. Redding has gone up and down, as needed, throughout his ISU career. Last season, he was at 149 lbs and notched a win over the eventual EIWA champion Ethan Fernandez (Cornell). These two met in the wrestle-offs last year and Frost recorded a 10-5 victory. Lehigh (141 lbs) - Malyke Hines/Carter Bailey The returning starter for Lehigh at 141 lbs is four-time national qualifier Maylke Hines, who started the preseason ranked #20 in the nation and is a past EIWA champion. Hines was a NCAA Round of 12 finisher in 2023 at this weight. Last season for Hines was highlighted by a Princeton Open to start the season and a pair of wins over past All-American CJ Composto (Penn). After spending his first two years moving between 125 and 133, Carter Bailey jumped up to 141 lbs and turned in his finest collegiate season, to date. At the F&M Open, Bailey pinned national qualifier Kal Miller (Maryland) and edged teammate Connor McGonagle (Lehigh) in sudden victory. He finished the year with a 21-8 record. Iowa (141 lbs) - Ryder Block/Cullan Schriever 141 lbs is one of a few weights for Iowa without a clear-cut favorite. They have Cullan Schriever, a veteran who has been their starter for stretches of the season, but never in the postseason - down at 133 lbs. Schriever has been able to generally beat the guys you’d expect him to beat, but hasn’t consistently been able to knock off the real All-American threats. Ryder Block was a top-30 recruit from the Class of 2023 who finished his high school career with back-to-back Junior National freestyle titles in Fargo. Block came to Iowa as a 149 lber but did not see any action during his redshirt year in 2023-24. He’s said to be moving down to challenge at 141 with multi-time All-American transfer Kyle Parco now at 149. We don’t have any college history to go on for Block, but he’ll likely be a good 141 lber if the weight cut isn’t much of an issue. North Dakota State (149 lbs) - Maxwell Petersen/Gavin Drexler This is a battle between a pair of wrestlers who have never made the NCAA Tournament; however, each has shown flashes during the prior campaign, where it looks like they could be on their way to nationals. Maxwell Peterson is the returning starter and coming off a 20-10 redshirt freshman year. He finished eighth at the Big 12 Championships and lost a consolation quarterfinal matchup to Willie McDougald (Oklahoma) in sudden victory with an NCAA berth hanging in the balance. Throughout the regular season, Petersen had wins over two eventual qualifiers. Gavin Drexler was 14-9 as a redshirt freshman at 141 lbs and also had two wins over national qualifiers - one of which came over All-American Vance Vombaur (Minnesota). Drexler ended up missing the podium at the Big 12 Championships. Penn State (157 lbs) - Tyler Kasak/Alex Facundo Of course, a former 149 lber (or even 141 lber) meeting a former 165 lber in the middle at 157 lbs! You know the story already, Tyler Kasak was called into action early last season after a season-ending injury to All-American Shane Van Ness. Up a weight and in his true freshman year, Kasak lost in the first round of the NCAA Tournament and battled all the way back to finish third. Facundo was an even more highly-regarded recruit than Kasak and was 19-6 as a true freshman at 165 lbs. He had an overall solid season that was obscured by an 0-2 finish at NCAA’s. Facundo took the 2023-24 campaign off as an Olympic redshirt. Kasak has a redshirt available, so that could be an option. Indiana (165 lbs) - Tyler Lillard/Derek Gilcher Indiana had the same situation last year - a young Tyler Lillard and a veteran Derek Gilcher; however, the dilemma sorted itself out as Gilcher suffered a season-ending injury in late-December at the Sheridan Invitational. Lillard went on to finish ninth in a deep Big Ten weight class and pick up a win in Kansas City. Lillard starts the preseason ranked #15 in the nation. Gilcher is a 2023 national qualifier, who looked excellent in his return over the summer at U23’s. These two met last year at the Keystone Classic and Gilcher prevailed 4-1, before winning the tournament. Iowa (174/184 lbs) - Patrick Kennedy/Gabe Arnold/Nelson Brands This could be the most interesting and followed positional battle of any this preseason. Patrick Kennedy is the returning starter for the Hawkeyes at 174 lbs. He was 18-8 last season and finished fifth in the Big Ten. At Nationals, Kennedy was a match shy of earning All-American honors which has made for two trips to the Big Show without an All-American honor in either. Gabe Arnold was a top-20 recruit from the Class of 2023 who ultimately redshirted last season, but was strategically deployed in key dual situations. In his first two dual appearances, Arnold picked up wins over returning All-Americans….up at 184 lbs. The second of the two was a crucial piece in defeating Iowa State. Arnold also picked up a win over the eventual EIWA champion and NCAA semifinalist Lennox Wolak (Columbia) during his run through the Soldier Salute. If that isn’t enough, Nelson Brands has a final year of eligibility and has stated his desire to compete at 174. Brands was fifth in the nation at the weight, in 2023, but missed all of last season due to a gambling suspension. Should all three continue to pursue the 174 lb weight class, it could leave a massive hole at 184. Brands has competed there in the past and with his age and injury history, eliminating an extra ten pounds from a weight cut could be a prudent move. However, it shakes out, Iowa should still have a high All-American threat at both 174 and 184 lbs. Virginia Tech (197 lbs) - Andy Smith/Sonny Sasso At the beginning of the 2023-24 season, it seemed like a foregone conclusion that the incumbent, Andy Smith, would start for Virginia Tech at 197 lbs and Sonny Sasso would take a redshirt. After Sasso’s sixth-place showing at the CKLV Invitational, that plan wasn’t so clear. Sasso picked up five wins over wrestlers who were ranked at the time and fell only to top-ten opponents. A few weeks later, Sasso was used in a dual meet and picked up a very solid win over national qualifier Nick Stemmet (Stanford). Ultimately, the Virginia Tech staff resisted the urge to use Sasso and it proved to be a good call. Smith stunned Big Ten runner-up Zach Glazier (South Dakota State) in the opening round at nationals and advanced to the bloodround. Virginia Tech (285 lbs) - Hunter Catka/Jimmy Mullen It will be interesting in the Hokie upperweights with 197 having two great options and the same at heavyweight. Like his teammate Smith, Hunter Catka had a fine regular season, but saved his best for the NCAA Tournament. Catka fell in the first round but reeled off three straight wins (two with bonus points) to wrestle in the Round of 12. Jimmy Mullen was a top-15 recruit in the Class of 2023, who was able to redshirt but still amassed a 15-4 record. Mullen got the nod in the all-important dual against NC State, but suffered a close loss. Among his 15 wins were two of NCAA qualifiers. NC State (285 lbs) - Isaac Trumble/Owen Trephan So, both NC State and Virginia Tech have multiple high-quality options at 285 lbs? Can we have a heavyweight tag team matchup during their dual? Owen Trephan is the returning starter. He’s the winner of the last two ACC championships at this weight. Both wins helped him earn a top-eight seed at the last two NCAA Tournaments; however, he wasn’t able to advance farther than the consolation Round of 16 in either appearance. Trephan’s most impressive win from the 2023-24 campaign came at the Collegiate Duals where he downed super-freshman Nick Feldman (Ohio State), 8-6. Isaac Trumble qualified for nationals twice at 197 lbs before taking an Olympic redshirt during the 2023-24 season. At the same time, Trumble’s freestyle career really took off. He dominated his way through the U23 World bracket - his closest match was a nine-point win in the opening round. Trumble then earned a bronze medal at the Zagreb Open and made the finals of the Olympic Trials.

The University of Michigan got on the board for Class of 2026 recruiting yesterday evening as they received a verbal commitment from in-state product Blake Cosby (Dundee, MI). Crosby was in action over the weekend at the Super 32 and advanced to the finals of the 150 lbs weight class. Cosby came into the tournament tabbed as the #19 overall recruit in the Class of 2026. His performance in Greensboro helped him move up to fourth in the nation at 150 lbs. This summer at Fargo marked the breakout point nationally for Cosby. Prior to Junior Nationals, Cosby was not on the Class of 2026 Big Board. He changed that with a fifth-place finish in Junior freestyle. That was Cosby’s second career All-American honor in Fargo. In 2023, Cosby was eighth in 16U freestyle at 145 lbs. Within his home state’s boundaries, Cosby has been a two-time Michigan D3 state finalist and a one-time champion - winning in 2024 at 144 lbs. Cosby is the highest-ranked Michigan native in the Class of 2026, so it was important for the Wolverines to keep him home. Before committing to Michigan, Cosby also took a visit to Big Ten foe Purdue in late-September. In Ann Arbor, Cosby projects to wrestle at the 165 lb weight class. Michigan currently has redshirt freshman Beau Mantanona slated to start at the weight. With two more seasons before Cosby hits campus and a potential redshirt year, that’s plenty of time for Mantanona to potentially move up.

“I am committed to continuing our winning tradition both academically and athletically. I look forward to the work ahead with a focus on providing a championship caliber experience for our student-athletes, coaches, staff and the entire Campbell family. The future is bright for Campbell Athletics.” Those are the words for Campbell University’s Director of Athletics Hannah Bazemore shortly after being named the school’s athletic director in November 2022. Those words rang hollow just a day after the school’s wrestling team learned that they would have a significant amount of funding cut from them. Starting in the 2025-26 school year, the wrestling program will only be given three scholarships which is a sharp decrease from the nine they had been working with. In what seems to be an unusual move, wrestlers who wish to keep their scholarships would not be allowed to compete. InterMat reached out to AD Bazemore for comment on this story and/or more information about this situation and has yet to receive a response as of Tuesday morning. Men’s and women’s soccer, golf, tennis, and volleyball are also said to be impacted. This change comes on the heels of the school’s move from the Big South Conference to the Coastal Athletic Association (formerly the Colonial Athletic Association). The move put Campbell in a conference that stretches from Charleston, South Carolina to Boston, Massachusetts. It was likely supposed to boost the school’s profile in football and basketball but generally has added more in travel expenses for everyone else - a common thread in conference realignment. Another “big-picture” change that’s in play here is the announcement that college athletics must share revenue with their athletes. Campbell has reportedly "opted in" to participate in revenue sharing in the future. Administrators can stomach sharing revenue with football and basketball teams, but everyone else, not so much. That plays a part in this decision. The main theme here is that the school and the athletic department have grossly mismanaged their budget and overspent and athletes who had nothing to do with their incompetence are left holding the bag. In today’s NIL world, holding the bag is actually a good thing - in this context, it isn’t. In my seventeen years of covering collegiate wrestling, I’ve seen too many colleges drop wrestling. I could look up the number, but it would be just another painful stomach punch during a rough couple of days. Usually, when a program is dropped or the funding is severely cut, you have to step back and look at the wrestling program as a whole. There tend to be multiple factors that contribute to the death. Lack of competitiveness on the mat, lack of attendance or fan interaction/interest, an out-of-touch coaching staff, and a team that doesn’t get the job done in the classroom or on campus are all hallmarks of a program that gets dropped by the administration. With Campbell, none of those factors apply. Though they just missed out on the InterMat preseason team rankings, Campbell finished the 2023-24 season ranked #22 in the nation in duals. Since 2021-22, the team has combined to go 41-7 and 21-2 in SoCon matches. Last season ended with heavyweight Taye Ghadiali becoming the second All-American in school history. In the 2022-23 season, Campbell notched wins over two Big Ten teams. A year prior, they downed an ACC opponent and pulled an upset over #16 Lehigh. Campbell’s staff also got in done on the recruiting trail inking the #24 overall recruiting class in the country with six of the top-250 prospects in the country. The Campbell coaching staff and support staff have done an excellent job in making the team relevant for reasons outside of wins and losses. Their social media presence is excellent and always on the cutting edge - typically, displaying more humor than most team accounts. Campbell has also developed a partnership with UFC FightPass who has streamed a handful of their duals. The Campbell/UFC FightPass partnership hasn’t been limited to “just showing” matches, but the team has worked in conjunction with opponents to provide unique atmospheres to promote these duals. In 2022-23, Campbell wrestled Michigan and North Carolina in the “Battle at Bragg.” The teams squared off in a hangar at Pope Army Airfield on the base formerly known as Fort Bragg (now Liberty). Last year, Campbell and Army West Point had a similar dual. A few weeks later, Campbell defeated Wyoming in the “Battle in the Barn” The dual took place in a specially renovated barn at an altitude of 8,000 feet on Deerwood Ranch in Wyoming. This season, they are set to take on #3 Nebraska on the school’s baseball field. The bottom line is Campbell’s wrestling program has repeatedly thought out of the box to make their matches more than just another wrestling match, they’re trying to create events and build or increase their fanbase. Campbell has also taken care of business in the classroom. Over the last four years, they have been mentioned each time in the NWCA’s Team Scholar Athlete Awards - with the highest ranking coming in 2022 when their team GPA was fifth in the country at 3.484. The 2021 team was 15th, 2023 was 14th and the team was 28th last year. Campbell and Campbell’s staff have checked all of the appropriate boxes when it comes to doing their part in running a successful program, so why does this happen? As with most things in college athletics, the answer lies in money. Unless your team is generating massive amounts of money or you’re one of the select few blue-blood wrestling programs, this could happen to you. The wrestling team has already had to reportedly raise over six figures per year to make their operating budget and that was with nine scholarships. The sad reality is that there’s an unofficial playbook for administrators in these seemingly dire financial situations. It’s either eliminating programs without warning or floating the idea that programs will be dropped or funding will be severely cut - leading to donors stepping up and saving the program and endowing it for the future, thus easing financial burdens off of them. Of course, if the donors do not get to a level that is acceptable to the school, they can just eliminate the team and it’s another line item off the balance sheet. We’re thankful that AD Bazemore did not use option one. It irritates me that we’ll have to work with the second option again (see Stanford), but I’d rather the wrestling community have the option to save a program than not. Going forward, this may be a more common occurrence. Now, I’m here talking about worst-case scenarios. I know Campbell head coach Scotti Sentes a little bit. With nine scholarships or three, he’s still going to put his all into making Campbell a viable program and doing right by his student-athletes. But make no mistake, he’ll have his work cut out for him. There will likely be a handful of current wrestlers in the transfer portal and some talented recruits decommit. As of now, InterMat has seen six verbals for Campbell from the Class of 2025. InterMat reached out for a comment from the parent of a current Campbell starter who replied, “I’m at a loss honestly. I have no idea what my child should do. I don’t know how he protects himself. He has trusted the process, trusted the people in charge, and planned his college career in line with what made the most sense for him to be the best version of himself both on the mat and classroom. I know life lessons can be really rough… just hoping this doesn’t actually pan out to be one.” You also have to feel for current Campbell stars Anthony Molton and Shannon Hanna. Both were team members on the Old Dominion team that was dropped after the 2019-20 season. After leaving Old Dominion, Molton transferred to Fresno State, who dropped their team after the 2021 season. A brief look at Molton's resume by the uninformed eye might lead one to think he’s an example of what’s wrong with college athletics with two transfers - three schools in three years. Technically, they’d be right, but for the opposite reason. Molton is an example of being collateral damage for the failures of college administrators, over and over again. After a couple of minutes on Campbell University’s homepage, I stumbled across the school’s mission statement. There’s the statement itself, but after there are 12 points the University says it will do to fulfill the mission. I’d implore AD Bazemore and anyone involved with the decision-making process to re-read points #3 and #7. #3: influences development of moral courage, social sensitivity, and ethical responsibility. #7 encourages students to think critically and creatively. Are you holding yourself to the same standards that you’re holding these young men and women to? Think creatively and show moral courage, social sensitivity, and ethical responsibility. Back to our quote from AD Bazemore: “I am committed to continuing our winning tradition both academically and athletically. I look forward to the work ahead with a focus on providing a championship caliber experience for our student-athletes, coaches, staff and the entire Campbell family. The future is bright for Campbell Athletics.” Make sure the future is indeed bright for Campbell athletics. Not just holding out hope that a magical football run or Final Four berth in basketball will save you. The wrestling team is one that has delivered the championship caliber experience for Campbell. Do your best to support them rather than gut the program. To donate and support Campbell wrestling please follow this link . Make sure wrestling scholarships are noted in your donation. Make your voice heard by the Campbell administration. While we are all emotional about this situation, please be respectful of AD Bazemore or any administrators to contact. Personal attacks only make the program look worse and likely decrease their desire to help.

Last week, we reported on Lehigh’s getting their first verbal from the Class of 2026 when #25 overall Cael Wiedemoyer (Faith Christian, PA) committed. Now, Lehigh has received a second and it’s from another elite prospect. The latest is #16 overall Keanu Dillard, who is currently ranked #1 in the nation at 120 lbs. Dillard is also from Lehigh’s backyard as he has won a pair of Pennsylvania AAA state titles for Bethlehem Catholic High School. Over the summer, Dillard represented the United States at U17 World Championships wrestling 55 kg in freestyle. Dillard ended up coming home from Jordan with a bronze medal. To make the world team, Dillard won the UWW U17 Trials for the first time. He was fifth at the tournament in 2023 and fifth in Greco-Roman in 2022. Other notable accomplishments for Dillard include a runner-up finish at 16U freestyle nationals in Fargo in 2022. A year ago, Dillard was sixth at the Super 32. The fit between Dillard and Lehigh appears to be a good one. The Mountain Hawks EIWA Champion and All-American at 125 lbs, Luke Stanich, is redshirting and moving up a weight (or two). Current projected starter Sheldon Seymour is headed into his junior year of competition. After Seymour, there doesn’t appear to be a clear-cut starter waiting in the wings. Just two years ago, Lehigh retained another top prospect from their home turf in Ryan Crookham. Crookham was as good as advertised in 2023-24 and will start the year ranked #1 in the nation at 133 lbs. Also, Lehigh’s last national champion (Darian Cruz) was a 125 lber from Bethlehem Catholic. Dillard took a visit to Lehigh on the weekend of September 28th and it was one of six schools he visited. Nebraska, Penn, Princeton, Stanford, and Virginia are the others. For Lehigh’s current verbal commitments from the Class of 2025 and 2026 - click here.

There was even a finals match that is already being discussed as one of the best high school matches ever. But, that’s a topic for a different day. Today, we’re looking at the placewinners from the boys high school division and where they are headed for college. Five different schools have commitments from four placewinners. Another four have commitments from three placers. As illustrated in the lead up to the tournament, the Super 32 can be a preview for success at the collegiate level. There no doubt that we’ll see many of the names below with deep runs at future NCAA Tournaments. Wrestlers have been sorted by the future school and listed with their home state. All wrestlers are from the Class of 2025 unless otherwise noted.
