Dual Rank: 12
Record Last Season: 0-4
Ranked Wrestlers: 5
133 No. 11 Sammy Alvarez
141 No. 4 Sebastian Rivera
174 No. 7 Jackson Turley
184 No. 5 John Poznanski
197 No. 15 Greg Bulsak

The transfer portal taketh but it can also giveth.

Just like Wisconsin, Rutgers was able to pull in a transfer as they snagged senior transfer Greg Bulsak (197) from Clarion to help bolster the back end of their roster.

Bulsak was unable to do much in the NCAA Championships over his career, but he’s bringing his experience and 77-25 record with him to Piscataway.

As far as where this year’s Rutgers team falls in the B1G pecking order, I can see them anywhere between 5-8 which is why No. 6 feels just about right at this point.

Rutgers begins the season on November 7th when they are set to host a quad meet with Binghampton, Cleveland State, and NJCU.
