Once again, "The Rose Bowl of Wrestling" kicks off the year LIVE on Flo. The 2018 Southern Scuffle is the 15th annual edition of the tournament and takes place on January 1-2 at McKenzie Arena in Chattanooga, TN. 

Below is a preliminary list of entries arranged by weight class, with ranked wrestlers at the top. This is guaranteed to change, as some athletes may get injured, or become ineligible, or just not go for any number of reasons. We will try to keep it as up to date as possible.

125 Pounds

#5 Darian Cruz, Lehigh

#9 Louie Hayes, Virginia

Sergio Mendez, CSU-Bakersfield

Thayer Atkins, Duke

Tony DeCesare, Air Force

Zack Fuentes, Drexel

Commentary: Darian Cruz, the defending NCAA champ, is seeking his first Scuffle title but will have to fend off top freshman Louie Hayes and All American Connor Schram.

133 Pounds

Commentary: In all likelihood, 133 is the premier weight of this year's tournament. Can Austin DeSanto close the gap on Jack Mueller, or is the Virginia All-American still too much on top for him? How does either match up with Scotty Parker of Lehigh?

Ryan Ford, Cleveland State

Sam Krivus, Virginia

Thomas Stager, Air Force

Ty Buckiso, The Citadel

Commentary: Max Thomsen is one of those guys who will be in line to contend for the 149 title after Zain Retherford graduates, so it will be good to see how close he is with the reigning Hodge winner.

157 Pounds

Jared Siegrist, Lock Haven

Justin Lampe, Chattanooga

Levko Higgins, George Mason

Matt Finesilver, Duke

Michael Billingsley, Air Force

Michael Lopouchanski, The Citadel

Sethan Bogulski, Northern Colorado

Commentary: We all felt comfortable saying Mark Hall was a title contender after last year's 174 finals at the Southern Scuffle. He'll likely have to get through Lehigh's Jordan Kutler, who won 157 here and lost a 3-2 decision to Hall a few weeks ago.
