149 is absolutley loaded this year and I believe it is the deepest/toughest weight class in the tournament. Returning champ (Burns) plus 4 other returning AAs (Burdine, Foley, DeBacco and Hale) and 4 returning qualifiers are in the brackets.

Plus USA Wrestling's #1 ranked recruit from last year in Albert White, who has beat the defedning champ.

Hepburn is tough.

North Idaho has a DI transfer there.

And a young man whose not getting much attention is Andre Harrison. Last year Harrison was part of some ridculous bracketing. He came in ranked in the top four but was thrown in to a first round match with returning AA Levi Younkin. The winner of that match got the opportunity to wrestle #1 ranked Joe Soto in the round of 16. Harrison gave Younkin everything he could handle in a 3-2 loss, then wrestled tough in the backside before losing to Colby Crawford 5-4 in the All-American round.

Tough weight class.
