Wrestling season is almost here! Fans across the country, including in the FloWrestling office, have been discussing what some of the nation's top teams' starting lineups will look like. Below are some of the most important and fun roster battles we could see this season. At this point, a lot of this is speculation. We do not know for certain what weight every wrestler is going. I did not include weights that will have a great backup, but still a very clear starter (i.e. Levi Haines and Will Henckel/Ashur Cunningham at 174 for Penn State).
I'm sure I missed a couple, so please email me at jd.rader@flosports.tv with your favorites that didn't make the list!
