I don’t know if 14 or so wrestlers is the norm for Oklahoma to send, but within this small group are some real heavyweights, and I don’t mean the weight class.
After PJ Duke, LaDarion Lockett could very well be the next best wrestler in any weight. Especially with Joe Sealey out of the event. He’s a world champion, a past Super 32 champion, and a big favorite now to do it again.
He’ll be joined by a trio of Stillwater teammates, Aydan Thomas, JJ McComas, and Stockton Allen. Of the three, McComas enters with the highest seed and national ranking but Thomas has spent a good part of the last calendar year in the top 10 or even top 5 at 106. Up at 113, he’ll have a chance to prove he belongs there as well.
Kody Routledge is the one non-Stillwater wrestler with a solid chance to crash the party.
I think Devon Miller is the best shot at a dark horse performing well.
