The final part of our lineup projection preview series is here as we look at the Rutgers Wrestling upperweights (174-285lbs). In case you missed it, you can find the lightweight preview here and the middleweight preview here. This is my projection of how the lineup will shake out after all the dust settles, as nothing is finalized yet.
Since heavyweight Billy Smith departed the banks after 2016 season, there hadn’t been an upperweight wrestler for Rutgers that scored significant points at the national tournament. That all changed last season as the group absolutely exploded onto the scene with two wrestlers earning All-American honors.
