2022-23 Atlantic Coast Conference Rankings

157 pounds

After a season riddled with missed time and injuries last year, 2021 NCAA champion Austin O’Connor has made a statement so far this season. O’Connor is 16-0 on the year with 81% of his matches ending with bonus points. O’Connor picked up an 11-3 major decision over Bryce Andonian and avenged a loss from the ACC finals last season with a 3-1 win over Ed Scott to take the #1 ranking at 157 pounds in the ACC. This weight class is made up of guys with high-flying offenses who have shown the ability to pick up wins over one another over the past few seasons and will be one of the best ones to watch at the ACC Championships.
