The pre-seeds for the Southern Scuffle on Wednesday have been released and there are two very notable new entries to the lineup for the Cowboys.
Kaden Gfeller, who already has two Southern Scuffle titles on his resume, will be the No. 1 seed at 141. At 174, two-time All American Joe Smith is also listed as the No. 1 pre-seed. Both were pegged as the starters for OSU preseason, but had yet to compete.
This is significant to the Cowboys in a number of ways. Coach Smith noted prior to the tournament that if we didn’t see Gfeller here it could mean he’s out for the year.
