Live On Flo This Week: Dec. 16-18 Reno TOC | Dec. 15 Cornell at OK State | Dec. 16-17 KC Stampede | Dec. 16-18 GR/WFS US Open | Dec. 17-18 Beast Of The East | Dec. 18 Virginia Tech at WVU

Though it's only December, it's not surprising to see lineup changes and redshirt decisions already being made by Division I teams.

On Sunday, it was announced that 157-pounder Max Rohskopf of North Carolina State would be out for the year. Rohskopf was ranked eighth in the nation.

Two more studs are done at 157 as well. On Dec. 8, Northwestern announced that Bryce Brill had suffered a career-ending injury, and Rutgers confirmed to FloWrestling today that fifth-ranked Richie Lewis is having season-ending surgery. Lewis will be able to redshirt this year and not lose a season of competition. John Van Brill looks to be the Scarlet Knights replacement for the time being at 157.

In another major lineup change, returning All-American Connor Schram of Stanford will be moving up to 133 pounds for the remainder of the season. Schram placed at 125 last year but will be moving up to 133 after starting this season competing at 125. We could see Schram at his new weight as soon as Sunday at the Reno Tournament of Champions.
