As usual, they have nine Big Ten duals, however, the two against Michigan and Ohio State still need a date finalized. Their match against the Wolverines will be their annual dual at the Bryce Jordan Center. 

This year they start a home-and-home series with Arizona State, with the December 14th dual happening in Rec Hall, while next year the team will head to Tempe to dual the Sun Devils. Which means we'll get to see the Zahid Valencia vs Mark Hall rivalry continued.

For the first time since 2016, both Oklahoma State and Penn State will be at the Scuffle, which will once again be live on Flo.

Starting off the year, we'll get to see two-time national champ Bo Nickal, now up at 197, taking on the highest returning placer from NCAAs in Kyle Conel of Kent State.

Coming in January, two-time 165lb champ Vincenzo Joseph will face returning third placer Evan Wick of Wisconsin in Rec Hall. The next week, Chad Red and Nick Lee will re-ignite their rivalry that began when the two were both in high school in Indiana.
