Jacori Teemer is the #18 seed at 157.
At Arizona State Teemer was an NCAA Qualifier in 2020. In 2021 he placed 4th and in 2022 he placed sixth. Last season Teemer placed second at 157.
Originally from Long Beach, New York Teemer will be competing in his fifth NCAA Tournament.
In the final InterMat Rankings on March 4 Teemer was ranked #3 at 157 and was ranked #1 for a majority of the season.
On the season Teemer is 8-4 with one pin and two major decisions.
At Big Tens Teemer placed seventh at 157.
For me Teemer is the most difficult Hawkeye to predict at Nationals.
Willie Saylor of MatScouts has Teemer placing third after losing in the Round of 32 to #2 seed Meyer Shapiro of Cornell.
Before an injury Teemer was ranked #1 for a reason. To me it is all about his health and how he is able to perform. Teemer was in the National Finals last year so he knows how to turn it up when it counts.
Teemer will be on the awards stand Saturday night. As to where it is would be a guess.
As an Iowa fan it would be great to see Parco at 149 and Teemer at 157 get on a roll at Nationals in their final showing for college wrestling. They both certainly have all of the skills needed to do great.
I will be releasing a preview of all of our NCAA qualifiers.
