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.

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.

Eight Jackrabbits are seeded in the top eight of their respective weight classes, each of which will feature 13 wrestlers.

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)

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.
