2024-2025 Wrestling Lineup Projection
- Thread starter Stormy Capybara
- Start date
Without the addition of any transfers (yes I know that we will get some) this is what we’re looking at by weight (not by name necessarily).
125 - qualifying caliber, maybe win a couple matches.
133 - if Frost can make 133 again I feel like he has a great shot at AA’ng again. His style has a very high floor.
141 - if Ech goes, high AA/champ. If it ends up being another 141 in the room I still think it’s qualifying caliber, even low AA potential.
149 - AA caliber
157 - AA caliber
165 - not sure here. Probably qualifying caliber?
174 - AA caliber
184 - feels like Naak could be a qualifier if he gets stronger this offseason.
197 - no idea
285 - high AA/champ contender.

125: Kysen/transfer
133: little frost
141: big frost/transfer
149: Johnson/echemendia
157: chittum/swiderski
165: Rojas/transfer
174: gaitan
184: naakteboren/transfer
197: Villescusa/bartlet/transfer
285: bastida
Hard to know what those guys behind David are looking like but plenty of holes to fill with the transfer portal. I would guess order of priority is 165, 125, 184, 197, 141

Redding is still here as well for 141 blood round guy last year as well for the above scenario
Reinieri (sp?) was in the room and of course couldn't get eligible. Is that a no forever or a no for last year?
125 - Kysen, Perryman, transfer
133 - Grice, a Frost, if one can get there, transfer
141 - a Frost, Redding
149 - Ech, Paniro, Swid
157 - Chittum, Paniro, Swid
165 - Rojas, Euton, transfer
174 - MJ
184 - Naak, Helgeson, Nando?
197 - Nando, Helgeson, Schon, transfer
285 - Yonger
Personally, I'd love to see what Schon could do at 197. I've always been impressed with his athleticism, and I feel like he's the kind of guy that would thrive in front of a crowd.
Bulk MJ, all the way.
I really like both Rojas and Euton at 165, but I wouldn't turn down a transfer.
If Swiderski's knee is surgery-worthy, can he get a med redshirt next season? Or does the injury have to happen in the season? I know he has a normal redshirt to burn, but figure it's worth keeping every option open with his brutal style.
With all our great options around the 149/157 range, I can see having one or both of Casey and Cody redshirt and focus on strength and technique. I love both of them and feel they have pretty big ceilings. A focused year off could really elevate those two.

For Casey, if you have a redshirt available, you wouldn't qualify for a medical redshirt that year. I believe medical redshirts are only granted if you miss a season of eligibility plus have already utilized your redshirt in a different year.
And they are handed out retroactively based on a percentage of a season wrestled and if a redshirt was ever used. Different factors involved in their decision making
Speaking of medical redshirt years. Jacob Frost only wrestling a handful of matches this year - 3 dates and only 2 D1 kids, a couple NAIA kids. I wouldn't be surprised if down the line he gets awarded a medical year for this year. Brands got a medical year and will be back next year I see, his 7th year in college.
why would he ( J frost) get a medical in a few years -
brands 7th year - he did get sidelined with the gambling but he is

that takes 7 years -

Generally, if you get hurt in the 1st 20-25% of the season and do not wrestle afterwards there is a good chance of getting a medical RS. We may have a few guys that will eligible including: Grice, Jacob, Rojas, and Villaescusa.
Yeah I thought about Rojas too. Coaches are getting smarter and letting guys recover and get minor surgeries to heal up. Jacob’s season was a short time in the first semester and then it was over. Manny only wrestled the Grandview open so I’m sure he will have a medical year if he wants it as well. I like the option these guys are getting to let their bodies heal and recover. This sport is brutal
