Olympic Redshirts

[DrizzyCyclone]

I’ve been looking around Flo and the internet to see if there’s been a list of all the wrestlers who have announced their intention to use an Olympic redshirt. Any out there? If not, we can use this thread to keep track since I’m interested to see how these can affect us around conference and national tournament time in terms of conference allotments for weights and team placing since we won’t have anyone using it.

Mekhi Lewis and Yianni Diakomihalis have both declared that they will redshirt.

 

[DrizzyCyclone]

Here’s what I’ve seen so far, correct me if I’ve missed anyone. I’ll list these by the weight they competed at last collegiate season:

125 lbs:
Vito Arujau, Cornell (rumored)

133 lbs:
Daton Fix, Oklahoma State (not officially announced, but I’m assuming he will)

141 lbs:
Yianni Diakomihalis, Cornell
Jaydin Eierman, Missouri

149 lbs:
None

157 lbs:
None

165 lbs:
Mekhi Lewis, Virginia Tech
Andrew Berreyesa, Cornell (rumored)

Amine of Michigan & Micic of Michigan, I think. But maybe for other countries

Amine of Michigan & Micic of Michigan, I think. But maybe for other countries

I know Micic can wrestle for Serbia, does Amine have another country he can wrestle for? Will admit that I don’t know much about other wrestlers outside the state other than guys that are dominant collegiately or internationally.

Amine has wrestled internationally for San Marino

 

[CyCloneRastlinG]

Mark Hall has been rumored also but nothing official there. Surprising to hear he might be able to make 74kg still.

I wonder in Demas of Oklahoma & Manville of PSU might for Greco

Demas would be smart to wrestle. He has a legitimate chance to win it all this year with Jaydin and Yianni out. Big impact for the cyclones and Parker if he takes one.

Any chance David Carr red shirts.

I would say close to 0%. He’s ready to go for the college wrestling season. If he took an Olympic RS this year, his senior year would be 2024 Olympics where he has a much better chance of making the team.

He could always Olympic redshirt both.

He could always Olympic redshirt both.

And become the Jess Settles of wrestling

Is Zahid planning on moving up to 184 this year? Or will he be back at 174? Have to wonder what Mark Hall does now too?

149 - Maruca
157 - Teemer
165 - Shields
174 - Anthony Valencia
184 - Zahid
197 - Belshay or Norfleet

149 - Maruca
157 - Teemer
165 - Shields
174 - Anthony Valencia
184 - Zahid
197 - Belshay or Norfleet

There are a ton of team points there. With that lineup I would expect to see Cohlton Schultz go at HW. They could be pushing for a title in Tempe.

Zahid always seemed big at 174 to me. This seems to make sense.

That's a run of some tough guys, and it will definitely be a fun one to watch in January.

Tough break for Colbray.

They have Tanner Hall set for this year at HWT. Would be very surprised if Schultz burnt the redshirt, as Hall is going to be probably top 5 to start the year.

Schultz would also probably be a perfect candidate for an Olympic redshirt.
