CORVALLIS, Ore. – Five members of the Oregon State wrestling team earned preseason Top-20 rankings from the Amateur Wrestling News website on Tuesday.
Junior All-American heavyweight Amarveer Dhesi, who took fifth place at the 2016 NCAA Championships with a 5-2 record, earned the highest ranking, No. 4. Dhesi was 32-5 last season, was the Pacific-12 Conference Wrestler of the Year and earned the Most Outstanding Wrestler award at the Pac-12 tournament while winning his weight class.
Dhesi, who is competing in the World University Championships in Corum, Turkey, this week, was also No. 4 in preseason rankings from InterMat, The Open Mat and WIN.
Junior 125-pounder Ronnie Bresser (31-9) was ranked No. 6. He placed second at the Pac-12 tournament and was 3-2 at NCAAs after advancing for the second year in a row. He was ranked No. 5 by InterMat, No. 7 by The Open Mat and No. 9 by WIN.
Redshirt senior 133-pounder Joey Palmer (26-12) was ranked No. 12. Palmer was second at the Pac-12 championships and then went 2-2 with two one-point losses in his second NCAA appearance. He was No. 8 by The Open Mat, No. 10 by WIN, and No. 12 by InterMat.
