Daniel Webster looks to improve on their 2-14 record from last season with leadership from transfers Seth Carter and Devin Visconti, and returners Steven Dwight and Clayton Fiddler.

Season Outlook:
The Bullets put together a winning season with a freshman-dominated lineup, and the team will be young again with just a single senior on the roster in three year starter Tyler Cunningham. Last year’s wins leader Quinn Merrigan is back at 149 and will be joined by as many as seven other returning starters. 125 should be a battle again between sophomores Noah Malamut and Lenny Ogozalek who both placed in multiple tournaments last year. 285 will be a fight to start as well, as returning starter Joey Bragg will have to contend with several challengers including last year’s 184, Camden Stoops, who has moved up two weights for 2015-2016. The team will be counting on a mixture of returning starters and another large freshman class to help get the Bullets into double digit wins and send some wrestlers to the NCAA Championships in Cedar Rapids.
