Flowrestling published its prediction on the 5-7 wrestlers in each weight class with a shot at the Championship – i.e., Number 1, not “just” All-American. Three Hokies made the list (Mekhi Lewis, David McFadden and Hunter Bolen) and one former Hokie (Jarrett Degen). Obviously, no real surprise in seeing Mekhi and David mentioned, but when you worry that you are too much of a Homer and think too highly of our own wrestlers, it's reassuring/exciting to see the impression that Hunter has made on the pros who know a hell of a lot about the sport. Mekhi is the only one listed more or less as a favorite. Good luck to all of them!

Here’s Flo’s summary of each, including Degen. Too bad we couldn’t keep him on the team (but he probably was going to leave for personal reasons whether or not Kevin Dresser went to Iowa State).

Jerrett Degen, Iowa State – 149

Degen surprised a lot of people outside of Ames with his seventh-place finish at the 2019 NCAA Tournament. The Montana native could surprise a few more with a run all the way to Saturday night next March in Minneapolis.

Mekhi Lewis, Virginia Tech - 165

Few expected Mekhi Lewis to go on his insane championship run last year. Others, like us, picked him in the early round of their fantasy draft that was held in October of 2018 (thank you, it was an inspired draft pick, we know). This year, no one will bat an eye of Mekhi Lewis gets taken in the first round.

David McFadden, Virginia Tech - 174

McFadden will attempt to become the Hokies' first every four-time NCAA All-American next season. Mekhi Lewis already has the honor of being the first ever VT national champ, but I doubt he would mind the company in the record books after the 2019-20 season.

Hunter Bolen, Virginia Tech - 184

In limited redshirt action, Bolen went an impressive 12-1 with two wins over All-Americans (Chip Ness and Jacobe Smith) as well as a victory over Lou DePrez. He is a great sleeper pick for your fantasy draft.
