Ross will be dropping down to 174 from 184 this year and will be starting for the Wolverines. Ross placed 6th at the Reno Tournament of Champions going 5-3 at the tournament and picked up in conference wins over Air Force and Northern Colorado. Ross will definitely be one of the leaders for the Wolverines. Dalton Harmon will be moving up to 174 this year after starting for UVU at 165 last year as a freshman. Dalton will redshirt this year and look to take over the spot next year when Ross graduates.

Will Sumner or Abel Gomez will be taking over the 184 pound duties with Ross Taylor moving to 174. Will is a freshman from Penn Valley, California.
