Hayden Hidlay preseason #1 at 157 pounds
RALEIGH, N.C. – Eight NC State wrestlers find themselves ranked among the top-25 of their respective weight classes according to FloWrestling's preseason rankings.
Â
Five members of the 2016 recruiting class that was ranked #1 nationally are ranked, while three members of the 2018 recruiting class that was ranked #3 overall are also ranked after all three redshirted last season.
Â
NC State is led by R-Jr. Hayden Hidlay who is the preseason #1 wrestler at 157 pounds. Hidlay earned All-American honors in both 2018 and 2019, after placing second and then fourth at that weight. He has also won the ACC title in each of his first two seasons.
Â
Hidlay is joined by four classmates from his recruiting class, all entering their third season as starters.
Â
Tariq Wilson will move up to 141 pounds this season. He went from unseeded to a third place finish at 133 pounds in 2017. Last season a foot injury sidelined him for two months, before he returned to finish one win shy of All-American honors. Wilson starts at #7 at his new weight class.
Â
Another wrestler moving up a weight this season, Nick Reenan started last season 10-0 and ranked as high as #2 at 184 pounds before he tore his ACL. He continued to wrestle with the injury, and went 1-2 at the NCAA Championships. He starts #9 at 197 pounds.
Â
Thomas Bullard (#13 at 165 pounds) and his twin brother Daniel Bullard (#20 at 174) round out the Pack's returnees that are ranked.
Â
A trio of wrestlers that redshirted last season find themselves ranked to start their Wolfpack careers: Jakob Camacho (#20 at 125 pounds), Jarrett Trombley (#24 at 133) and Trent Hidlay (#14 at 184).
Â
This past summer while wrestling freestyle, Hidlay earned a silver medal at the Junior World Championships in Estonia, while Trombley placed third at the Junior World Team Trials which were held in Reynolds Coliseum.
