Ranked Wrestlers: 5

125 No. 15 Devin Schroder

What’s Purdue’s prize for smacking inter-state rival Indiana 38-3 last Monday (2/22)? I’ll gladly move them from No. 8 last week to No. 8 this week. You’ll get nothing and like it, Purdue! How ’bout a Fresca?

All of the ranked grapplers for the Boilermakers picked up wins against their IU counterparts, compiling five decisions along the way.

While Purdue doesn’t have a buzzsaw like Northwestern’s Ryan Deakin, they are a more solid lineup from top to bottom. Hence why they’re ranked ahead.
