Here at 141 lbs, we have four open spots available & I feel very confident that I know who the four wrestlers are going to be who take them. My picks for the wildcards? See below.
 |
| #16 Josh Edmond Missouri |
3rd in the BIG 12 a year ago, Josh Edmond came up a match short of a top 8 finish this past weekend. A match shy of being an NCAA DI All American last year, the Tiger owns a 5-2 decision over Jordan Titus & a 9-4 decision over Jason Miranda.
 |
| # 18 Haiden Drury Utah Valley |
7th in the BIG 12 a year ago, 2022 NCAA DI qualifier Haiden Drury was one match shy of placing at the BIG 12's last weekend. Owns a 5-2 decision over Julian Tagg.
 |
| #26 Henry Porter Indiana |
Henry Porter among his ranking, also owns a 14-7 decision over Evan Mouglian.
 |
| #27 Jayden Scott North Carolina |
5th in an ACC bracket that took the top 4. Among a respectable ranking, I think both a 3-2 t.b. win over Mosha Schwartz & a runner-up finish at the Southern Scuffle will be on the Tar Heel's side.

| #17 Danny Pucino Illinois |
Now some are going to point at Danny Pucino & think that ranking alone should get him in ahead of Drury, Porter & Scott. I'll tell you why I don't think that'll be the case. First off Pucino doesn't have any wins over those who have qualified at 141 lbs. Secondly & even more of a factor, is that Porter recently won a head-to-head 20-9 major decision over the Illini. I can't see the committee taking Pucino over Drury. I don't think they'll take him over Scott either. Could be wrong, but I think unfortunately for the blue & orange, we're looking at #34.
