Futrell moves up to 141

[IlliniFan92]

I have heard from a few relaible sources Futrell will wrestle 141 this year. First of all can anyone else confirm this? I know WIN has him ranked at 141. And secondly, what is everyones thoughts on his move? I feel like he wasnt a big 133 pounder and he might struggle in some scramble situations with bigger guys

it says so on his twitter account

I hope Daryl Thomas isn't affected too much by this. I'm not sure if he has the size to go up to 149. I know he used to wrestle 133, but I'm not sure about him getting down there again.

I was told 133 lbs was tough for him to maintain.

Consider it confirmed. BJ told me personally at the wedding last month.

Doesn't it seem like just yesterday people were saying BJ would never be big enough to wrestle in college or overmatched. Look like that obstacle was overcome. Good luck BJ at 141.

Thanks for the confirmation Mr Twister. And best of luck to BJ at 141. And does this mean Darrel Thomas will be moving up to 149?

Rumor is that Futrell is HUGE! I've also heard that Thomas is going 133 and will be in a battle with previous 125 lb starter Logan Arlis, and Fila Jr Champ Rodrigues. Richards is planning on taking a red shirt. Plenty of depth at the weight though and the starter, whoever it is, will be successful.

Is Ramos staying at 133? I think that 141 will give Futrell a better shot, no?
