Head Coach Chris Bono and his wrestlers will host 11 matches to see how the Mocs' lineup will take shape in the early part of the season.
"Our guys have worked hard in the preseason and are ready to compete in front of a big crowd," Bono said. "We have many positions open this season after losing an All-America and several starters from a year ago. I am looking forward to watching who is ready to step up for our program."
The wrestle-offs include several intriguing challenges including a three-way battle at both 141 pounds and 149. Competing at 141 will be Ben Johnson and Mark Nicely with the winner facing Cody Cleveland. The 149-pound division will see Carlos Baron taking on Kelly Felix while the winner will meet Joey Knox.
Southern Conference heavyweight champion Matt Koz is dropping down to 197 pounds in 2007-08 and will face freshman Ethan Winel. Other true freshmen set to compete include Dan Waddell at 157, Tyler Roberson at 184 and Matt Lettner at 285.
