The meet will be held at Maclellan Gym on the UTC campus beginning at 7 p.m. Admission is free.
First-year Head Coach Joe Seay has put together a competitive 10-match wrestle-off which will determine the Mocs' depth chart for the fast-approaching season.
"We will use these wrestle-offs to determine our No. 1 and No. 2 guys at every weight class," Seay said. "But more importantly, it will give our fans, boosters and wrestling alumni a chance to see how hard these men have been working and allow them to get a sneak peek at the team before the season gets underway."
The exhibition features three nationally-ranked wrestlers including 2005 All-America Michael Keefe of Ringgold, Ga. Keefe, ranked as high as No. 5, will wrestle Aaron Martin, a transfer from Virginia, at 141 pounds.
Twin brother Josh Keefe is ranked as high as No. 14 nationally and will face Nebraska transfer Matt Keller at 133. Keller is ranked as high as No. 12.
Senior John Davis is also ranked at 184 pounds but will not participate because of an injury.
Other returning starters in the lineup include Wayne French (149), Dan Peterson (165) and Wes Taylor (197).
