Week two is always an interesting weekend in the college wrestling world. With the excitement of wrestling returning, did we put too much emphasis on what we saw during the first weekend of November? Did someone wrestle out-of-their-mind for one match or have a bad time getting down to weight for the first (or second time) or just had a difficult time shaking off the rust? Also, not everyone wrestles on week one (or even week two). There will be some teams we see for the first time this week. With plenty of action going on, there’s always the chance you might miss something. So we’ve outlined some key storylines to monitor over the next three days. As always, if you’re looking for a way to watch these matches - check out our Live Streaming Guide Bubba and the Barraclough Last weekend, we saw Terrell Barraclough make a successful debut for Utah Valley with a win over then-#3 Hunter Garvin followed by three bonus-point wins at the Menlo Open. Anyone that followed Barraclough knew he was capable of picking up such wins. Now, can he string them together? An opponent like Bubba Wilson of Nebraska is the perfect kind of barometer for this. Wilson is a tough out and a two-time national qualifier. With 165 lbs being influx (aside from the top tier), Wilson could be an All-American threat. Throwing Down on the Yorktown Late Friday afternoon and into the evening is the setting for “Throwdown on the Yorktown” which should be one of the biggest spectacles of the college wrestling season. Army West Point, Gardner-Webb, The Citadel and Virginia will all be in dual competition on the flight deck of the USS Yorktown. DII Lander and Newberry will wrestle too, as will Campbellsville and Presbyterian’s women’s programs. It will be a great start for a strong weekend of action. Stanford’s Iowa’s Swing Chris Ayres’ team has loaded up the schedule for his second year with Stanford. The Cardinal will travel to Iowa State for a dual tonight, followed by a Saturday afternoon matinee at Carver-Hawkeye Arena with Iowa. We could see Jaden Abas hit a pair of All-Americans in Anthony Echemendia and Kyle Parco. Abas and Parco have a long history, but it’s all in favor of the new Hawkeye, Parco. Iowa native Hunter Garvin returns to his home state and will have his hands full with #2 Michael Caliendo on Saturday. It’s unclear who he’ll have against Iowa State, but it should be a quality opponent - either #10 MJ Gaitan or Connor Euton. Redshirt freshman Tyler Knox could have All-American’s on back-to-back days with #5 Evan Frost (Iowa State) and #7 Drake Ayala (Iowa) at 133 lbs. Tournament Saturday We don’t have full entries for Saturday’s tournaments and it can be frustrating to speculate because of that fact, plus having to anticipate advancement - but there should be some excellent matchups at tournaments on Saturday. Primarily the TigerStyle Invite. It is a small tournament, but features #8 Missouri, #16 Little Rock, #25 Purdue, #29 Maryland along with Cal Poly and SIU Edwardsville. One of the weights I’ll focus on is 133 as many of these programs have high-quality 133’s. Also on Saturday is Appalachian State’s Mountaineer Invitational, the Michigan State Open, and the Bison Open. One note about the Michigan State Open is that there will be a small contingent from Oklahoma State traveling to East Lansing, so it’s the first opportunity to see David Taylor’s team in action. Vinson’s Dual Debut Buffalo is one of the team’s that will travel to Bethlehem, Pennsylvania for WrangleMania. It will feature the dual debut of the Bulls head coach Donnie Vinson. Some of Buffalo’s wrestlers participated in the Clarion Open; however, this will be the first time they’re in action in a team competition. Vinson’s team will have the opportunity to get off on the right foot during a 10am dual against Sacred Heart. California Baptist follows at 12pm. Shark Alert Last year at WrangleMania, Long Island stunned Buffalo in dual competition. Later in the year, the Sharks minted their first DI national qualifier in Anthony D’Alesio. 2024 will have LIU heading to Bethlehem under the leadership of former Buffalo wrestler John Arceri. They have a winnable dual in round one against Duke, before meeting Arizona State. First Look at Rutgers #18 Rutgers will take the mat for the first time in 2024-25 in two duals that they’ll be heavily favored in - against Duke and Franklin & Marshall. Should they unveil their full lineup, it could be a very imposing group. Rutgers will have to be ready as #8 NC State is looming on the horizon at next week’s Jersey Jostle. In-State, But Out-of-State A pair of North Carolina teams will head to Bethlehem to square off as #8 NC State clashes with Campbell. This dual might be one of the best of the weekend, in terms of ranked versus ranked matchups. Half of the ten bouts could featured ranked opponents meeting. None bigger than the big men with returning All-American #7 Taye Ghadiali facing 2023 U23 World Champion #10 Isaac Trumble. Looking beyond the ranked matches, I’m eager to see how 149 lbs plays out. Koy Buesgens started the year in the bottom half of the rankings. He had a very solid 14-2 redshirt campaign in 2023-24. Buesgens dropped out after a loss last week to The Citadel’s Jacob Silka. On the other side is true freshman Eugene Harney. Harney was one of Campbell’s standouts at the “Dual At the Daddy” when he upset then #15 Gabe Willochell in his college debut. A big weekend, could force Harney into the top-33 at 149 lbs. Arizona State/Illinois Headlines WrangleMania The must-see dual matchup from WrangleMania pits #13 Illinois against #21 Arizona State. One key match comes at 149 lbs with #10 Kannon Webster and #14 Jesse Vasquez. It will end with a pair of heavyweights that have made age-group Greco world teams in #4 Cohlton Schultz and #13 Luke Luffman. All preseason I’ve had my eye on Illinois being a very tough team, beating Arizona State would go a long way towards proving their potential. Back-to-back ACC Opponents for Navy Last week, we highlighted Navy’s dual with Pittsburgh as one to watch. It was great in 2023. This one was extremely lopsided (35-3) in favor of Pittsburgh. Now, Navy has another ACC opponent in North Carolina. Can Navy put the Pitt loss behind them and move onto the Tar Heels? This will be the first dual competition of the season for Rob Koll’s team; however, they had plenty of standouts at the Southeast Open. Both teams will wrestle Drexel, as well. He’s Back! Saturday will mark the dual debut of John Stutzman version 2.0 for Bloomsburg. Stutzman returns to the school where he made a name for himself after spending a decade coaching Buffalo. His team will see action against one of his former pupils and assistant coaches in Frank Beasley, head coach of the host George Mason Patriots. Millersville and Williams will also wrestle both schools. Journeymen Collegiate Classic On Sunday, many of the team’s that participated in WrangleMania will stay in Bethlehem for the Collegiate Classic. This event divides wrestlers into pools, generally based on similar talent, and they compete in round-robin action - followed by a cross-pool matchup where the winner’s meet, and second-place wrestlers meet, along with the same for third-place finishers. Again, it’s difficult to project who will advance, but we’ll single out some potential weights to watch. Pool A at 184 lbs features four ranked wrestlers - #7 Edmond Ruth, #10 Dylan Fishback, #18 Reece Heller, and #20 Brian Soldano. Pool A at 285 lbs has three of the top-ten wrestlers in the nation with #4 Cohlton Schultz, #8 Nathan Taylor, and #10 Isaac Trumble. Pool A at 157 lbs features #2 Meyer Shapiro and #6 Ed Scott. At 125 lbs, there are five ranked wrestlers amongst the two pools. Pool A has #1 Richie Figueroa, #16 Max Gallagher, and #19 Sheldon Seymour. Pool B has #12 Greg Diakomihalis and #13 Diego Sotelo. After Saturday, coaches may end up pulling some of these wrestlers and the pools would have to be redrawn. Not all of these guys will wrestle each other, but there are some interesting possibilities. Remember, it was the 2023 Journeymen Collegiate Classic where hometown hero Ryan Crookham announced himself to the college wrestling world by stunning NCAA and world champion Vito Arujau.

We have another full weekend on tap in ACC country with a good split between duals and tournaments. Let’s take a look at a few things to keep your eyes on this weekend. Big Dual Weekend for #15 Stanford Being a west coast school in a sport that is midwest/east coast dominated provides scheduling challenges. Being a Pacific coast school in the ATLANTIC COAST CONFERENCE provides its own logistical nightmares. The Cardinal squad does well with scheduling multiple events when they make bigger road trips, this weekend is no exception. They are making a trip to Iowa this weekend and will see #8 Iowa State and #2 Iowa. #8 Iowa State 125 #10 Nico Provo v Osmany Diversent 133 #23 Tyler Knox v #5 Evan Frost 141 #32 Jason Miranda v #12 Casey Swiderski 149 #12 Jaden Abas v #7 Anthony Echemendia 157 Grigor Chalokyan v #11 Paniro Johnson 165 #7 Hunter Garvin v #10 MJ Gaitan 174 #17 Lorenzo Norman v Aiden Riggins 184 #27 Luke Duthie v #16 Evan Bockman 197 #17 Nick Stemmet v #32 Christian Carroll 285 Jackson Mankowski v #6 Yonger Bastida #2 Iowa 125 #10 Nico Provo v #31 Kale Peterson 133 #23 Tyler Knox v #7 Drake Ayala 141 #32 Jason Miranda v #31 Ryder Block 149 #12 Jaden Abas v #4 Kyle Parco 157 Grigor Chalokyan v #1 Jacori Teemer 165 #7 Hunter Garvin v #2 Michael Caliendo 174 #17 Lorenzo Norman v #6 Nelson Brands 184 #27 Luke Duthie v #9 Gabe Arnold 197 #17 Nick Stemmet v #2 Stephen Buchanan 285 Jackson Mankowski v #11 Ben Keuter Throwdown on the Yorktown Virginia will head south to Charleston, South Carolina for a non-traditional dual setting on the flight deck of the USS Yorktown. The Hoos will look to continue their hot dual start against The Citadel and Gardner-Webb. The event is the brainchild of SOCON official and SC House of Representatives member Neil Collins. The matches will take place on the flight deck of the WWII aircraft that is moored in Charleston Harbor. The event will feature both women’s and men’s duals and should be a pretty awesome evening of wrestling. The biggest thing to watch for the Hoos is the lineup at the lower weights - I’ve told you there will be some fluctuations throughout the semester as they figure out their optimal lineup. I’m listing the starters from last week, but don’t be surprised if you see appearances from Marlon Yarbrough (#21 at 141) and Jack Gioffre. I’m also keeping an eye on Rocco Contino at 174; I’ve been super impressed by what I’ve seen from him this year. The Citadel 125 Keyveon Roller v Gylon Sims 133 #33 Gable Porter v George Rosas 141 Kyren Butler v Thomas Termini 149 Erik Roggie v Jacob Silka 157 Michael Gioffre v Hayden Watson 165 #12 Nick Hamilton v Thomas Snipes 174 Rocco Contino v Benjamin Haubert 184 Hadyn Danals v #28 Billy Danzer 197 Max Shulaw v #28 Patrick Brophy 285 Gabe Christensen v Adam Ortega Gardner-Webb 125 Keyveon Roller v Tyson Lane 133 #33 Gable Porter v TK Davis 141 Kyren Butler v #33 Todd Carter 149 Erik Roggie v Joseph Giordano 157 Michael Gioffre v Drew Pepin 165 #12 Nick Hamilton v Tyler Brignola 174 Rocco Contino v Andrew Wilson 184 Hadyn Danals v Brixan Burgess 197 Max Shulaw v Joshua McCutchen 285 Gabe Christensen v Peyton McComas Journeymen Several squads will make their way to Bethlehem, PA for the Journeymen Wranglemania on Saturday and the Collegiate Classic on Sunday. Duke will face LIU and Rutgers in the early rounds and NC State will square off with Campbell in the final round of duals. Keep an eye on the upper weights for the Duke duals. Vincent Lee and Connor Barket will both face some tough tests, especially against Rutgers. The NC State versus Campbell dual has some sneaky good matches to keep up with. The highlight will be a top-10 showdown at 285 between All-American Taye Ghadiali and Isaac Trumble. #8 NC State v Campbell 125 #7 Jakob Camacho v #27 Anthony Molton 133 Jacob Cox v #22 Dom Zaccone 141 #6 Kai Orine v #30 Shannon Hanna 149 Koy Buesgens v Eugene Harney 157 #6 Ed Scott v Seth Larson 165 #21 Derek Fields v Kendrick Hodge 174 #24 Matt Singleton v #25 Dom Baker 184 #10 Dylan Fishback v Cole Rees 197 #27 Christian Knop v #19 Levi Hopkins 285 #10 Isaac Trumble v #7 Taye Ghadiali The Sunday pools at the Journeymen Collegiate Classic are always top tier. There is some stout competition this year, but we won’t know specific matchups until this weekend. Duke and NC State will participate, as will Pittsburgh. There are multiple top-20 teams that are sending wrestlers including Cornell, Illinois, Lehigh and Arizona State. Keep an eye on the InterMat socials for pool breakdowns when they are announced. Sunday Duals North Carolina will look to build on their strong start at the Southeast Open when they travel to Annapolis on Saturday for duals against Drexel and Navy. Navy 125 #26 Spencer Moore v Nick Treaster 133 #17 Ethan Oakley v Brendan Ferretti 141 Jayden Scott v #9 Josh Koderhandt 149 #6 Lachlan McNeil v Kaemen Smith 157 #26 Sonny Santiago v Jonathan Ley 165 Nick Fea v Tyler Sagi 174 #11 Josh Ogunsanya v #22 Danny Wask 184 #22 Gavin Kane v Zyan Hall 197 Cade Lautt v Payton Thomas 285 #33 Aydin Guttridge v Alistair Larson Drexel 125 #26 Spencer Moore v Desmond Pleasant 133 #17 Ethan Oakley v Kyle Waterman 141 Jayden Scott v Malachi Bordovski 149 #6 Lachlan McNeil v Dominic Findora 157 #26 Sonny Santiago v Luke Nichter 165 Nick Fea v #31 Cody Walsh 174 #11 Josh Ogunsanya v Jasiah Queen 184 #22 Gavin Kane v #32 Guiseppe Hoose 197 Cade Lautt v #21 Michael O’Malley 285 #33 Aydin Guttridge v Shane Whitney Mountaineer Invite The Hokies will send a limited squad across the mountains to West Virginia for the Mountaineer Invite. They won’t have their full starting lineup, but expect some familiar faces getting some mat time in Morgantown.

FCW Week 2 Outlook Entering Week 2, teams will want to look for the best tournament plays to maximize their scoring and widen the gap against league-mates.

The University of Michigan’s Class of 2026 is coming together quite nicely. Sean Bormet’s team received their second verbal from the junior class as #11 overall Moses Mendoza (Gilroy, CA) committed to the Wolverines today. Mendoza is currently ranked fourth in the nation at 126 lbs. Mendoza was a third-place finisher for Daniel Cormier’s Gilroy High School team at 120 lbs in 2024. The bulk of Mendoza’s accolades have come on the national level as he has placed six times in Fargo - three at the 16U level and three as a Junior. This summer he was sixth in both styles while wrestling at 132 lbs. Last month, Mendoza was third at 126 lbs at the Super 32. Mendoza will join #19 Blake Cosby (Dundee, MI) in Michigan’s Class of 2026. At the next level, Mendoza projects at the 141 lb weight class. That works out well for the Wolverines as their current starter, Sergio Lemley, is headed into his sophomore year. Mendoza could slide in after his graduation and a redshirt season. Michigan is quickly becoming “the spot” for some of California’s best wrestlers. Fellow Gilroy wrestler, Chase Saldate, transferred to Ann Arbor in the offseason for his final year of eligibility. The Mantanona brothers (Beau and Brock) were highly-ranked recruits who have made their way to Michigan. One of the top heavyweight prospects in the Class of 2025, Nick Sahakian, has committed to Bormet’s squad, as well. Before committing to the Wolverines, Mendoza also took visits to NC State and Nebraska. For all of Michigan’s current verbal commitments from the Class of 2025 and 2026 - Click Here

College wrestling is back! The guys from the Fantasy College Wrestling Podcast are as well and have tips on who to start or who to avoid with this week's action. Also, maybe some gems that you may not have considered. From the Throwdown on the Yorktown to WrangleMania, they've covered all the bases. For the full show:

The season is officially upon us and we had all sorts of action in the ACC this weekend. We saw dominant dual performances and the youth of the conference showing out at tournaments. Let's take a look at some of the highlights from the weekend. Dual Dominance The conference finished the first week of the season with an unblemished dual record and did so in dominating fashion. Virginia handled the Bison of North Dakota State 31-6, including ranked wins from Gable Porter (133) and Kyren Butler (141) and bonus point wins from new starters Rocco Contino (174) and Max Shulaw (197). Further south in Roanoke, the Hokies dispatched the Mocs of UTC 37-6. Eddie Ventresca returned to the lineup with a tech fall, Sam Latona picked up his first ranked win at 141 and we saw an impressive debut in the lineup from Connor McGonagle, who picked up a first-period pin. The Panthers took it to the Midshipmen in Pittsburgh on Saturday, reversing a lopsided loss from last season. The 35-3 showing was highlighted by #19 Luca Augustine picking up a ranked win over #22 Danny Wask. The lone loss in the dual was a 5-4 decision win from #9 Josh Koderhandt over redshirt freshman Anthony Santaniello. They picked up bonus points from Nick Babin, Vince Santaniello, Reece Heller, and Dayton Pitzer. The new guys in town, Stanford, picked up two dual victories on the weekend. They won by the same score, 29-12, in duals against CSU Bakersfield and Utah Valley. They were on the losing side of the two most anticipated matchups of the weekend; Hunter Garvin dropped an 11-9 decision to Terrell Barraclough and Nick Stemmett lost the Battle for the Emojis 5-0 to AJ Ferrari. They looked solid up and down the lineup with Tyler Knox (133), Jaden Abas (149), Grigor Cholakyan (157), and Lorenzo Norman (174) all going 2-0 in the duals this weekend. Power of the Youth The young Hokies showed out this weekend! Highlighting the new blood was a phenomenal weekend by Sammy Sasso. He won his first dual match against UTC by pin in 1:26. Then he continued that run at the Southeast Open, winning the title on the strength of four first-period pins. Sasso is 5-0 with 5 falls and his longest match is 2 minutes and 42 seconds. I’d say that’s a pretty stellar start. Fellow Hokie freshmen Jimmy Mullen and Rafael Hipolito also had incredible performances. Mullen was 5-0 on the weekend, winning the Southeast Open and his dual match; he had three pins, a tech fall, and one win by decision. Hipolito started putting together his season-long highlight reel early with a second-period tech fall in the dual. He followed that up with a Southeast Open title with two pins and two wins by decision. Open Performances Every ACC team sent some reps to opens across the country this weekend - Menlo Open, Southeast Open, Clarion Open, and Battle at the Citadel. We already hit on the Hokies performance at the Southeast Open but the Tar Heels also had a great run in Roanoke. Their performance was highlighted by Spencer Moore winning the title at 125 with a win by major decision over #14 Jett Strickenberger in the finals. Ethan Oakley made his UNC debut winning the title at 133, followed by Jayden Scott earning the crown at 141. Lachlan McNeil took the mat at 149 for the first time, making a strong run to the finals before dropping a tight match to #3 Ty Watters in sudden victory. The Tar Heels also won four titles in the Freshman/Sophomore division; Elias Navida (133), Nick O’Neill (141), Jake Dailey (184) and Robert Platt (197) all finished atop the podium. Duke and NC State headed south for the Battle at the Citadel. The Wolfpack took a large contingent and brought home five titles. Vincent Robinson (125), Draegen Orine (133), Kai Orine (141), Derek Fields (165) and Christian Knop (197) all won individual titles. Fields and Knop also both picked up ranked wins on the day. Owen Trephan competed unattached and met up with Blue Devil Connor Barket in the finals; both wrestlers bonused their way to the title match. Trephan won by tech fall over Barket to earn the top spot on the podium.
