The fourteen programs combine for a total of 74 wrestlers who are ranked for their respective weight class. The Michigan rankings are broken down into divisions based on size of enrollment while Indiana has all-class rankings.
285-pound Dorian Keys, 195-pound Isaiah Street and 138-pound Drake Campbell are all frontrunners according to MichiganGrappler.com.
