The Ohio State wrestling team.will be without one of its most important wrestlers, Nathan Tomasello, as the redshirt senior is out for an unknown amount of time with a lower body injury.

Tomasello, who was planning to drop from 133 pounds and return to 125 pounds for the upcoming season, is a three-time All-American and won a national championship in 2015 at 125 pounds.

Tomasello competed over the weekend in the U23 World Team Trials to represent the United States in November. He fell short in the finals to Oklahoma State’s Daton Fix. It is unknown whether Tomasello suffered the injury over the weekend.

Who's #1 went kind of weird...Heinselman lost, that was not exactly expected. But as was mentioned earlier, Hoffman came up with a huge win. Then Carr whooped on Lee 6-1. huge win there. Carr could be a star here, still hope we are set to land him.

The tea leaves don't read well for the good guys it seems. Looks like ISU.

Also, a rumor by a VIP on Bucknuts says NaTo has a torn ACL but isn't going to have surgery.

It's official.....

Another top recruit comes off the board as No. 1 David Carr made his verbal commitment to Iowa State live on FloWrestling.

Ohio State and Penn State: College wrestling’s arms race

IMG_1064-530x353.jpg


Ohio State’s final points tally last season would have won them the national championship in all but five years in the history of the NCAA.

The reason it did not is due to the NCAA’s resident wrestling powerhouse, Penn State. The Nittany Lions have won six of the past seven team titles, with Ohio State being the only exception in 2015. The embarrassment of riches on the team rosters in both State College, Pennsylvania, and Columbus will carry over to this season.

Penn State carries five defending individual national champions. Ohio State returns one in senior heavyweight Kyle Snyder. Three other individual titles have been won by current Buckeyes in years past: redshirt senior Nathan Tomasello, junior Myles Martin and Snyder.

FloWrestling’s preseason NCAA wrestling rankings exemplify the dominance of both teams, but in a different way. Penn State includes just seven ranked wrestlers, but all seven are listed in the top five in their respective weight classes across the nation. Five No. 1 spots belong to Nittany Lions.

Ohio State’s lineup is more balanced. The Buckeyes have a wrestler ranked in the top 12 at all 10 weight classes, with six being in the top five and three ranked at No. 1: Snyder at heavyweight, Tomasello at 125 pounds and redshirt sophomore Kollin Moore at 187 pounds.

The Buckeyes might hold an advantage at the lower weights, with Tomasello at 125 pounds (No. 1), sophomore Luke Pletcher at 133 pounds (No. 9) and junior transfer Joey McKenna at 141 pounds (No. 6). No wrestlers are ranked for the Nittany Lions in those three classes.

Penn State’s murderers’ row of middleweights stands as its linchpin. Every defending champion — Zain Retherford (149 pounds), Jason Nolf (157 pounds), Vincenzo Joseph (165 pounds), Mark Hall (174 pounds) and Bo Nickal (184 pounds) — holds top spots.

Head coach Tom Ryan and the Buckeyes consider themselves to be reloaded and ready to dethrone the Nittany Lions in the 2017 season.
