Season outlook:
NYU had a great dual meet season, finishing 15-1 on the strength of solid depth and a lineup with few weak spots. The midyear transfer of former Iowa State wrestler Brandon Jones was a big boost, as he was undefeated until the NCAA Championships where he placed 5th at 133. He will likely be at 141 for 2013-2014, however. Also making it to Cedar Rapids was Patrick Sheehan at 184 but came up one match short of placing. Both Jones and Sheehan return to make another run. Matt DiGiovanni and Anthony Chu also placed at the regional, while Corbin Lee won over 20 matches before Jones bumped him out of the lineup. If Jones is at 141, Lee can get back in at 133. A good recruiting class brought in some likely starters, so NYU is set for another strong season.
