Who has the potential to walk away with a Southern Scuffle title at 133 lbs this weekend?
Who has the potential to make the Southern Scuffle finals?
Who has the potential to take home a top 8 finish from the Scuffle this weekend?
Let's take a look!!
 |
| #9 Dom Serrano Northern Colorado |
The Bears suffered quite a blow when both Stevo Poulin & Vinny Zerban left Greely, Colorado for Ames, Iowa. Nevertheless, Northern Colorado still has one of their standout stars from last season & that guy is two-time Southern Scuffle runner-up Dom Serrano. Can Serrano add a gold to the two silvers he already owns? I'd say so. A likely *1 seed, he owns a 4-1 win over Ethan Oakley & a 14-10 win over T.K. Davis.
 |
| #11 Dillon Campbell Virginia Tech |
Serrano is going to have plenty of wrestlers breathing down his neck this tournament & this talented freshman is one of them. Dillon Campbell has been having himself a great rookie season & has wins over both Braxton Brown (11-0) & Tyler Ferrera (1-0).
 |
| #12 Braxton Brown Maryland |
The three-time NCAA DI qualifier is looking to add to his list of credentials & accomplishments and a top 8 showing here at the Scuffle would be a rather nice one to have on the resume. Owns a 6-2 decision over Ray Lopez.
 |
| #13 Tyler Ferrara Cornell |
While current ranking may favor the Hokie, the head-to-head favors the Big Red, as the sophomore from Binghamton, owns an 8-1 decision over Dillon Campbell. He also owns an 11-3 major decision over Joey Fischer.
 |
| #14 Ethan Berginc Army |
The three-time NCAA DI qualifier has plenty of reason to think he'll have a good weekend here at the Southern Scuffle. Among his wins, he's defeated T.K Davis three times (8-3, 9-6 & a 2:25 fall) & he's defeated Ray Lopez twice (9-1 & 9-5).
 |
| #16 Ray Lopez American |
The Eagle is making the most out of his final season of competition. Winning the Navy Classic, he's already pulled off a few upsets this season & is looking to pull off more. He should be seeded to place at the Scuffle this weekend but will still need to wrestle well in order to make the award stand.
 |
| #19 T.K. Davis Gardner Webb |
The Bulldog was 6th here a year ago & he owns a 6-3 decision over Braxton Brown and a 12-10 decision over Ray Lopez.
 |
| #18 Evan Mougalian Pennsylvania |
Going to use the term, "Sneaky good" once again here to speak of Evan Mougalian & the potential he has this weekend. I don't think we've really seen him let loose yet & what a surprise it'll be to the wrestling community if he does.
 |
| #29 Tristan Daugherty North Dakota State |
The Bison will be looking for a top 8 finish this weekend & stands a good shot at achieving that status.
 |
| #33 Javaan Yarbrough Morgan State |
As Coach Kenny Monday continues to rebuild the once powerful & proud Morgan State wrestling program since its recent reinstatement, the Bears look for credentials & accomplishments to add to the program's accolades. Placing at the Southern Scuffle would be among them & Javaan Yarbrough gives them that opportunity at 133 lbs.
 |
| U.R. Joey Fischer Clarion |
Now a senior, I cannot believe that as good as Joey Fischer sometimes wrestles, he has not made the NCAA DI championships yet. I know he's better than U.R. but at the moment, U.R. is where he stands. Does he have the talent & skill to pull off some upsets this weekend? He has the talent & skill to place top 8 this weekend. Owns both a 5-3 decision over Ethan Berginc & a 2-1 tiebreaker over Tristan Daughtery.
 |
| U.R. Carter Schmidt Oklahoma |
Among the other unranked talent in this group with the potential to finish within the top 8, add Carter Schmidt to the list.
 |
| U.R. Geronimo Rivera Utah Valley |
Starting off the season 0-5 and then nabbing a huge victory over All-American Zan Fugitt. It's hard to know what to make of Geronimo Rivera. Was it a sign of a slow start, now ready to hit the road running? Or was it simply a case of every dog has its day? We'll see this weekend at the Scuffle!!
