COLUMBIA, Mo. – No. 5 Mizzou Wrestling has wrestlers ranked in all ten weight classes in the initial NCAA Coaches Rankings. The Tigers feature two top-five wrestlers, with 149-pounder Brock Mauller ranked third and 141-pounder Allan Hart ranked fourth in their respective weight classes.
 
The final rankings will be one of the criteria used as part of the selection process to determine qualifiers and seeding for the 2021 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships on March 18-20 in St. Louis.
 
The coaches’ rankings are determined by a vote of 14 coaches in each weight class with two head coaches from each conference. For ranking purposes, coaches may only consider a wrestler that has been designated as a starter at a respective weight class. For the first ranking, wrestlers must have two Division I matches in the weight class to be considered with at least one within the last 30 days.
