Nine of the 10 South Dakota State wrestlers slated to compete in this weekend's Big 12 Wrestling Championship will wrestle first-round matches, according to brackets released by conference officials Wednesday afternoon.
Â
The lone Jackrabbit to receive an opening-round bye was junior 174-pounder Cade DeVos, who is seeded sixth in his weight class. DeVos will meet the winner between third-seeded Sam Wolf of Air Force and California Baptist's Louis Rojas.
Â
Eight Jackrabbits are seeded in the top eight of their respective weight classes, each of which will feature 13 wrestlers.
Â
First-round matchups include:
125: #6 Tanner Jordan vs. Kyle Gollhofer (Northern Iowa)
133: Derrick Cardinal vs. #7 McGwire Midkiff (North Dakota State)
141: #5 Clay Carlson vs. Casey Swiderski (Iowa State)
149: Alek Martin vs. #2 Colin Realbuto (Northern Iowa)
157: #4 Cael Swensen vs. Nolan Miller-Johnston (California Baptist)

197: #1 Tanner Sloan vs. Caden Gerlach (California Baptist)
285: #4 A.J. Nevills vs. Juan Mora (North Dakota State)

Four of the first-round bouts are rematches from regular season action. The Jackrabbits went a combined 4-0 against their initial postseason opponents, including wins by Cardinal and Nevills in dual action Feb. 19 at North Dakota State. King and Sloan also recorded victories over their first-round foes in dual action in January.
Â
Competition at the Big 12 Wrestling Championship begins at 10 a.m. Saturday at the BOK Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with Saturday's evening session set for 5 p.m. Consolation semifinals and matches for seventh, fifth and third place will be held at noon Sunday, concluding with the championship matches at 8 p.m. Sunday. The first three sessions will be streamed through Big 12 Now at ESPN+, while the championship matches Sunday night will be televised on ESPNU.
