It’s almost time for the college wrestling season and we’re previewing every weight class before the season starts. In the below article, I preview 149-pounds by breaking down the names you need to know to help you get prepared for the college season.

Top-ranked Penn State will be without one of its top performers for the remainder of the season.

While it may have felt like 10,000 days since last NCAA wrestling season, it’s actually only been about seven months. The eulogy you hear is not the vicarious thrills you are about to experience but for the changing of the seasons and the schism between summer and autumn that marks the start of a new wrestling season.

With Penn State releasing their schedule today, I thought it would be a good time to remind everyone that their lineup could look very different than expected, especially at the beginning of the season. This is due to one thing: 2024 is an Olympic year. Olympic years cause some unusual disruptions to the sport of wrestling.

The following are the top 25 wrestlers who scored the most team points at the 2023 NCAA Championships.

Head coach: Cael Sanderson

The 2023 NCAA champion Penn State Nittany Lions have landed the services of three-time All-American Bernie Truax, who has previously announced that he had entered the transfer portal on March 23.

The 2023 NCAA Wrestling National Championships saw Yianni Diakomihalis join the ultra elite club of four-time NCAA champs, of which only four other wrestlers can claim membership.

After pulling off an improbable comeback in round 1, Penn State's Shayne Van Ness knocked off #5 seed Paniro Johnson of Iowa State. The upset puts Van Ness in the NCAA quarterfinals and helps Penn State's cause in their pursuit of Cael Sanderson's 10th NCAA team title.

Cornell's Yianni Diakomihalis is chasing four-time NCAA champ status in a deep field. He's the clear favorite, but this bracket still has plenty of intrigue.

The Penn State Wrestling program has won nine NCAA team championships since Cael Sanderson took over the program in the 2009-2010 season, and they're the favorites to win their tenth in the Cael Sanderson era this year. More on Penn State's ascendence under Coach Sanderson is available here, but for now, all eyes are on this year's NCAA brackets.

The 2023 Big Ten Wrestling Championships will take place March 4-5 in Ann Arbor, Michigan and will feature some of the best college wrestlers in the country. Check out the article below for a full preview, with predictions for the lightweights (125-157) at Big Tens.

The 2023 Big Ten Wrestling Championships are set to go down March 4-5 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and will feature some of the nation's best wrestlers on their quest to NCAAs. We should get the "official" seeds for Big 10's in the next 7-10, and that gives us plenty of time to speculate and predict what they might be. Take a look at the below article for a breakdown of what the seeds we're predicting at each weight.

This week we'll have a whole bunch more ranked matchups and plenty of great action to look forward to.
