The NCAA wrestling brackets are out, and one weight class immediately stands out: 133 pounds. This bracket is loaded with talent, controversy, and one of the most fascinating stories of the tournament — Jax Forrest. Forrest transferred directly from high school to Oklahoma State mid-season, something rarely seen in college wrestling. Despite the unusual path, he enters the tournament as the #1 seed and the #1 ranked wrestler by USA Wrestling. But the road to the title is anything but easy. Last year’s NCAA finalists Drake Ayala and Lucas Byrd are sitting at the 6 and 7 seeds, while top contenders like Marcus Blaze, Davino, and Aaron Seidel are all lurking in the bracket. Chael breaks down why this weight class could produce some of the most unpredictable matches of the entire NCAA tournament, and why the freshman class may be about to take over.
