125: Pat McKee (RSFR) - McKee has a solid resshirt season, going 14-4 and notching victories over former National Qualifiers Dack Punke (Missouri) and Paul Avia chi (Arkansas-Little Rock).

133: Jake Gliva (RSFR) - Gliva went 20-9 during redshirt last season but didn’t have any notable wins. Interesting tidbit: Boo Dryden from NEO is listed on Minnesota’s roster at 133.

141: Mitch McKee (SR) - After two consecutive round of 12 finishes at 133, McKee moves up a weight and finished 6th. He finished with a 24-8 overall record and notched wins over Sam Krivus (Virginia), Sam Turner (Wyoming), Tristan Moran (Wisconsin), and Chad Red (Nebraska) at NCAAs.

149: Braxton Lee (RSFR) - Lee went 26-7 while redshirting. He had a couple of notable wins against Cole Martin (Wisconsin) and Anthony Artalona (Penn). He also was the US representative on the Junior World Freestyle team at 70kg.

157: Carson Brolsma (RSSR) - Brolsma started at 165 for the Gophers last season and was a national qualifier. He went 20-12 overall and 1-2 at NCAAs. His only win was against Ebed Jarrell (Drexel).

165: Jake Allar (RSSO) - Allar was the main backup at 165 last season. He went 19-5 overall.

174: Devin Skatzka (RSSR) - After 2 years of failing to finish in the top 8, Skatzka got over the hump with an exact 8th place finish. Skatzka got victories over Lorenzo Da la Riva (North Dakota State), Brandon Womack (Cornell), Daniel Bullard (NC State), and Ben Harvey (Army) on his way to an All-American finish.

184: Owen Webster (SR) - Webster has yet to wrestle a full season for the Gophers due to injury. Webster went 7-9 in limited time. Bobby Steveson who was a NCAA qualifier as a freshman could also be an option as well as redshirt freshman Caden Steffen.

197: Hunter Ritter (RSSR) - The Gophers get a solid transfer here. Ritter did not compete last season as he initially decided to retire from wrestling. Ritter was a 2x national qualifier for Wisconsin before his retirement.

HWT: Gable Steveson (SO) - We all know Steveson. He took 3rd at Nationals last season and was also nearly made the Senior world freestyle team.
