2019-20 NCAA DI Rankings

141 Dom Demas

With Joey McKenna's graduation and Jaydin Eierman and Yianni Diakomihalis announcing their intent to take Olympic redshirts, the Dangerous Dom Demas slides up to the top spot. All-American Grant Leeth drops down from 149 and muscles his way into the top 5 after missing most of last year due to injuries. 

Tariq Wilson is penciled in at 141 for the Wolfpack. That former third placer at 133 pounds had a down year in 2019, but there's no reason he can't contend for a title in 2020. 

The Oklahoma State Cowboy lineup is far from settled and may continue to permutate throughout the season, as it did last year, but for now, we have Kaden Gfeller down from 149 and in at #10, after an excellent regular season but a disappointing 0-2 record at the 2019 NCAAs. 

Luke Pletcher is slated to wrestle-off for the Buckeye starting 141-pound spot. As such, we have moved him from the 133 rankings to this list. Going the opposite direction in weight is Josh Heil, who we expect to make the descent to 141. Heil has the potential to climb the 141 rankings quickly, though for now, he's at #16.

Redshirt freshman Real Woods will also likely move up the top 25 swiftly. The Stanford Cardinal was 22-1 last season but did not face much in the way of elite competition.
