The Black Knights are two weeks away from opening up against #18 Oregon State. Here are some cadets to look for at 141 and 149!!!
141 Pounds
This figures to be a wide-open weight for Army. Last year’s EIWA Rep Thomas Deck has moved up to 149. Junior Julian Sanchez may have the inside track, as he saw time in the lineup last year, posting a 12-7 record. Junior Mark Montgomery also was a regular in the lineup at 133 and should challenge for time here. Two freshmen from New Jersey may be at this weight after a prep year and could see reps in the lineup, or on an open schedule – look for Ed Hummel and Shane Percelay to contribute! Veterans like Dom Carone, Nic Botello, Tyler Morris and Logan Brown are also options here or at 149 for Coach Ward.
149 Pounds
Junior captain Matt Williams is back after a 23-4 season last year, including key wins in the Lehigh and Navy dual meets. He is poised for a big year. He will be challenged by the aforementioned Deck, who moves up from 141 after a 19-7 campaign. Sophomore Zach Keal was 14-7 at this weight last season and will be in the mix as will sophomore Mark Metz and freshman Cole Stone.
Check back soon for the options at 157/165
