Not sure Davison's weight after moving up from 197, but hopefully he is able to figure out a way to negate some of the weight and strength of a few of the HWT at the top scale of that weight.   He's got the skill to go on a AA run this season if he can.

 

Big10 HWT is going to be crazy this year.  Multiple wrestlers with age group international titles, plus Gable's Olympic gold.  They have a pretty good chance at getting 7 of the 8 AA spots at NCAAs with Schultz from Arizona St. being the spoiler to that run.
