Major Lineup Changes For Ohio State Wrestling
No lineup coming into the 2016-2017 season had more high profile question marks than Ohio State.  The Buckeyes had more than a few high caliber wrestlers who had been rumored to be considering changing weights.

FloWrestling was able to confirm with the Ohio State coaching staff a few of the changes the Buckeyes will have for next year.

For starters, NCAA Champion Nathan Tomasello will be moving up to 133 pounds after wrestling his first two seasons at 125.  This makes room for Freshman Jose Rodriguez at 125 pounds.  Tomasello will be an instant contender at 133 pounds.  His best competition will come from Two-time NCAA Finalist Cory Clark and Zane Richards. 

Nathan Tomasello gets a win in the quarterfinals at NCAA's:


Jumping up a few weights, Bo Jordan will be heading up from 165 to 174, while NCAA Champion Myles Martin will be moving up to 184 pounds. Jordan, who has been 3rd twice will be contending with Zach Epperly, Kyle Crutchmer and Casey Kent for an NCAA title.  This weight is deep, though Bo looks to be the favorite on paper.  At 184, Myles Martin is getting dropped into a much tougher weight that will feature two-time NCAA Champion Gabe Dean, NCAA finalist Tim Dudley and perhaps Bo Nickal.

Myles Martin downs Bo Nickal in the NCAA Finals:

Barring a change of plans, the Buckeye lineup will look like this:

125 - Jose Rodriguez, FR
133 - Nathan Tomasello, JR
141 - Ke-Shawn Hayes, FR
149 - Micah Jordan, SO
157 - Jake Ryan, SO
165 - Justin Kresevic/Cody Burcher
174 - Bo Jordan, JR
184 - Myles Martin, SO
197 - Kollin Moore, FR
285 - Kyle Snyder, JR
