Ryan publicly stated that he did have a chance, but that it had to wait until December when Kharchla returned from injury. No clue if that ever happened, if I had to guess maybe Welsh wanted to compete prior to that (CKLV?) but if he wrestled attached it would have burned his redshirt and then he would basically lose a year of eligibility if Kharchla beat him. But as someone else said, if that happened I’m sure he could have wrestled off for 184 too.
