165 Projected Starter: Koleton Hardy (Sophomore)
- Credentials: 2x state champion from Box Elder high school and High School All-American
- Challengers: none
- Redshirts: Kimball Bastian, Kieffer Taylor
- Expected Intrasquad matches
- Koleton Hardy vs. Kimball Bastian
- Dalton Harmon (165/174) vs. Koleton Hardy
Koleton returns after a season ending injury last year and looks to put together a solid season at 165 for the Wolverines. Also returning from a grey shirt year will be Kimball Bastian from Maple Mountain HS. Kimball will be redshirting but placed high in several tournaments this off season showing he will be a huge addition in the future for UVU. Kieffer comes to us from Arizona where he was a state champion and a highly sought after recruit. Kieffer has impressed early and could challenge for the spot this year but for now he will start out redshirting.
