Next year starting lineup cheat sheet


I'm not a wrestling guy but like to follow the program. Going off below and what seemed to be the most popular projected lineup for next year I put together a cheat sheet for me. Let me know if I have anything wrong. Looks like a great lineup.

4 Seniors, 2 Juniors, 3 Sophomores and 1 Freshman

3 from PA, 2 from NJ, 2 from OH, 1 from VA, 1 from FL and 1 from ND

9 of the 10 are previous NCAA Qualifiers. The 1 that isn't is a Fr and may have the most potential of all.

2 of 10 are returning All-Americans. Have to think the other 8 all feel like they can All-American this year if they improve and catch a break or two at Nationals.

Top (125, 133, 141, 149) looks very solid with all NCAA Qualifiers

Middle (157, 165, 174) looks young, dynamic and the sky is the limit

Bottom (184, 197, 285) looks experienced and very steady with three 3x NCAA Qualifiers

125 Sophomore Kyle Norstrem (FL) 1x NCAA Qualifier (Fr)
133 Junior Korbin Myers (PA) 2x NCAA Qualifier (Fr, So)
141 Sophomore Brent Moore (OH) 1x NCAA Qualifier (Fr)
149 Senior Ryan Blees (ND) 1x NCAA Qualifier (Jr)
157 Freshman Mekhi Lewis (NJ) will be first season wrestling
165 Junior David McFadden (NJ) 2x NCAA Qualifier (Fr, So) 2x All-American (Fr, So)
174 Sophomore Hunter Bolen (VA) 1x NCAA Qualifier (Fr)
184 Senior Zach Zavatsky (PA) 3x NCAA Qualifier (Fr, So, Jr) 1x All-American (Jr)
197 Senior Tom Sleigh (PA) 3x NCAA Qualifier (Fr, So, Jr)
285 Senior Billy Miller (OH) 3x NCAA Qualifier (Fr, So, Jr)

Edit: one other observation - we expect Mekhi to be a NCAA Qualifier this year, right... if he does 9 of the 10 starters this year will have all qualified for the NCAA Tournament as freshman. Blees being the only one who wouldn't have. Wow.
