This is where things get interesting. A ton of variables in this weight class, with an abundance of ifs, ands and buts. On the foreground, NCAA runner-up Nino Bonaccorsi looks to be the favorite to win a title here, as he has never faced Iowa's Jacob Warner Warner or Michigan's Pat Brucki, but he is 3-0 against Virginia's Jay Aiello. Warner looks to possibly be the #2 ahead of Michigan's Pat Brucki, but it is Brucki who is 2-1 against the Hawkeye, with over all better showings at the last three Midlands. Somewhere in all of this mess, Virginia's Jay Aiello if he shows up after having not wrestled all season fits in. He's a former Midlands runner-up himself.
Our other place-winners? Very confident in Binghamton's Louie DePrez & Purdue's Thomas Penola getting onto the award stand. I'd like to think Rutger's Greg Bulsak of Rutgers will be another one.
Others include
#16 Luke Stout of Princeton
#25 Matt Wroblewski of Illinois
#27 Braxton Amos of Wisconsin
#28 J.T. Brown of Army who placed 7th in 20
#29 Jake Koser of Navy
#30 Andrew Davison of Northwestern
Levi Hopkins of Campbell
Ben Smith of Cleveland State
Cole Urbas of Pennsylvania
Any small school guys breaking through onto the award stand?

| #1 in NCAA DIII Cody Baldridge North Central |
If anyone is going to do it, it is 2021 NCAA DIII champion Cody Baldridge of North Central. It'd take a good draw and wrestling extremely well, but seeing him slip into the 8th place slot among the heavy DI competition is something I could foresee happening.
