Of those six redshirt freshman, Terry Jackson (Uhrichsville, Ohio) provided the biggest upset of the day when he defeated senior captain Jim Fowler (Valley City, Ohio) 3-1 in overtime at 141 pounds.
"Terry Jackson's performance at 141 was a big surprise," said Ohio head coach Joel Greenlee, who served as the referee for all of Saturday's matches. "He really took it to him from start to finish so that was a good match for Terry."
Jackson started the year behind fellow reshirt freshman Albert Madsen (Strongsville, Ohio) and junior Matt Smith (Sandyville, W.Va.) at 133 pounds but his performance Saturday has pushed him to the top of the chart at 141 pounds. In addition to Fowler at that weight, sophomore Frank Brown (Westerville, Ohio) remains a possible starter once he recovers from a knee injury.
According to Greenlee, sophomore Caleb Metcalf (Waterville, Ohio) and Madsen also looked impressive in their matches. Metcalf scored a major decision for the Green team in the day's opening match by beating redshirt freshman Jake Kagey (Alexandria, Ohio) by a 12-1 margin at 125 pounds. Madsen then gave the White team its first points with a 7-1 decision over Smith in the 133 bout.
