2022-23 Big 12 Conference Rankings

165 pounds

2021 NCAA champion David Carr put on the performance of the season in his 7-2 win over returning NCAA champion Keegan O’Toole in the final match of the Missouri-Iowa State dual. Everyone expects to see these two meet once again at the Big 12 tournament, but there are no guarantees in a very strong weight class like 165 pounds in the Big 12. Michael Caliendo moved up to the #3 ranking over returning All-American Peyton Hall as he only has two losses on the season, one to O’Toole and a loss that he avenged over Shane Griffith. Gerritt Nijenhuis moved up to the #5 ranking after picking up a win over Tanner Cook, while Wyatt Sheets moved up to the #6 ranking after defeating both Cook and Austin Yant.
