FloWrestling is in the process of filing a missing person's report for the following 30 wrestlers, none of whom have wrestled a match this season.

You don't get points for perfect attendance, but at least some of these guys have excused absences, mainly the guys who were over in Bucharest trying to win U23 world titles. But a lot of these guys, we don't quite know why they're out.

We're coming up on CKLV week and the final duals of the first semester, so it's getting to a part of the season where seeds might be getting affected. But without further ado, here's a list of highly ranked guys who have wrestled a combined 0 matches this season.


125 Pounds

#7 Sean Fausz, NC State: Fausz earned himself a silver medal in Romania, we're sure he'll be back soon enough.

#10 Travis Piotrowski, Illinois: The junior has a walking boot on so it might be a little bit before he's cleared.

Connor Schram, Lehigh: "We've taken Lehigh's Connor Schram out of the rankings as he has not wrestled since last year's CKLV," wrote Andrew Spey in this week's rankings. Schram was previously ranked 11th.


133 Pounds

#8 Scotty Parker, Lehigh: A good portion of the Mountain Hawks roster has not been healthy this November. The two-time AA has just one final chance to reach the podium.

#11 Dylan Duncan, Illinois: Both of the Illini's lightweights have been MIA in the early part of the season.

#14 Josh Terao, American: It speaks to the insane depth at 133 this year that these three guys missing has barely registered in the collective conscious of the wrestling commuty.


141 Pounds

#1 Yianni Diakomihalis, Cornell: All eyes are on the NCAA champ's return, which I'm betting will be at the UNI dual.

#11 Ryan Diehl, Maryland: Diehl is a great fly in the ointment guy that always gets upsets, hope to see him back soon.

149 Pounds

#6 Max Thomsen, Northern Iowa: Both Lehigh and UNI have a bunch of starters out, we could include Cortlandt Schuyler here as well.


157 Pounds

#14 Gordon Wolf, Lehigh: With both Wolf and Ian Brown hurt, there is talk of running true freshmen Josh Humphreys out at 157.

#18 Griffin Parriott, Purdue: Another injury to start that the year that the stuff is slow playing so as not to rush a guy back and re-injure himself further.


165 Pounds

Jon Jay Chavez, Cornell: I wouldn't expect to see Chavez in a Big Red singlet this season.

Anthony Valencia, Arizona State: He's coming off shoulder surgery, but Josh Shields has moved up to 165, so we might not see Valencia until next year.


174 Pounds

#5 David McFadden, Virginia Tech: Another world teamer returning from Romania.

#6 Michael Kemerer, Iowa: Remember that he didn't finish last year healthy, so the Hawkeyes may be trying to be extra cautious and keep him sound for March.

184 Pounds

Joe Smith, Oklahoma State: Who really knows what weight Joe is at and if he will even got this year.

Nick Gravina, Rutgers: It would be unfortunate if Gravina got a sixth year and doesn't end up being healthy enough to go.


197 Pounds

#3 Kollin Moore, Ohio State: No injuries here, just Moore training for U23s, where he made the finals.

#4 Jacob Holschlag, Northern Iowa: Two weeks ago, coach Schwab said there was no timetable for the All-American's return.

#11 Jacob Warner, Iowa: The word at last week's media day was that Warner would for sure wrestle against Purdue this weekend.

#19 Garrett Hoffman, Bucknell: Probably not ideal to make your season debut against Bo Nickal.


285 Pounds

#1 Sam Stoll, Iowa: Still taking his morning stroll around campus.

#5 Youssif Hemida, Maryland: Excused absence, too busy making the U23 world finals.

#7 Billy Miller, Virginia Tech: In all likelihood we won't see the Edinboro transfer until the second semester, meaning John Borst is the guy for a few more weeks.

#8 Jere Heino, Campbell: He was also at U23s, but competing for Finland. The question is whether or not he is redshirting this season.

#11 Jeramy Sweany, Cornell: Still waiting to hear why we haven't seen Sweany.

Amar Dhesi, Oregon State: He may or may not be done for his career.
