Jordan, Rohskopf, Jack Headline Wolfpack Open Entries
Isaac Jordan, Kevin Jack, and Max Rohskopf headline the 2016 Wolfpack Open in Raleigh, North Carolina, this weekend.
We're coming up on one of the last big weekends of open wrestling before the grind of the NCAA season starts. A handful of stars make their way to these events, and here is a look at the best who will be in action this weekend in Raleigh, North Carolina, at N.C. State's Wolfpack Open.
Make sure you catch all the action LIVE on FloWrestling. Weigh-ins are at 7 AM ET and wresting starts at 9 AM on Sunday , November 20. There will be no seeding, only separation of NCAA qualifiers. Third-place bouts will be between the losers of the semifinals.
Terao entered the rankings this week after majoring Nathan Kraisser.
This will likely serve as a pseudo wrestle-off for N.C. State, with Tariq Wilson, Robert Rizzolino, Jamal Morris, and Marshall Brown all registered.
Jack is the heavy favorite in this field and will be looking to bounce back from his loss to Randy Cruz this past weekend at the Journeymen Collegiate Classic.
No. 17 Beau Donahue, NC State
Donahue is new to the rankings thanks to his win over Davion Jeffries. Since Finesilver is the only returning NCAA qualifier, it's possible he and Donahue could meet up before the finals.

Hayden Hidlay, NC State
Rohskopf will wrestle his first official match of the season this weekend, which means it's time to get ready for some funky counters and brutal top riding. Hidlay was at the Bill Farrell on Friday and nearly took out his coach, Adam Hall.
No. 12 Tyler Marinelli, Gardner-Webb
With Isaiah Martinez not yet wrestling folkstyle, Jordan is the best 165 in action so far this season. The three-time All-American will hopefully run into Marinelli, as Gardner-Webb continues to tries to raise its profile.
Nick Reenan, NC State
Bass made a name for himself by beating two-time NCAA qualifier and Midlands finalist Jon Schleifer of Princeton. Reenan made his debut at Journeymen and got his first taste of losing in college, something no one expects him to do very much of in his career.

No. 18 Michael Macchiavello, NC State
No. 20 Hunter Gamble, Gardner-Webb
Something's gotta give here at the bottom of CP's rankings. The only weight with three ranked guys could end up being the unofficial state title of North Carolina this year.
One of my favorite things is to see how a guy wrestles the week after he debuts in the rankings. Kasunic is working with Chad Hanke now but is still flying under the radar.
Kasper has been extremely busy, as he is already 7-0 and went on a trip overseas to Russia in the past couple months. A fun match to see would be between Kasper and Michael Rogers, who are both known for their Greco prowess. Everyone loves to see heavyweights get tossed.
