Missouri Tigers wrestling will open its new season on Sunday, November 2, at the Hearnes Center in Columbia with the Missouri Duals. The event will bring together five in-state programs: Central Methodist, Central Missouri, Drury, Maryville, and Missouri Valley.

Before the duals begin, a clinic will be held at 9:45 a.m. Central Time. Access to the clinic is included with a ticket to the Missouri Duals. The clinic will be led by two-time National Champion Keegan O'Toole and two-time National Team Member Jarrett Jacques. The first round of dual matches starts at noon.

Missouri's schedule for the day includes facing Drury in round one, followed by Maryville at 1:30 p.m., and Central Methodist at 3 p.m. This marks the first time in program history that Missouri has competed against all three of these teams.

Returning starters from last season include Kade Moore (133 pounds), Josh Edmond (149), J Conway (157), and Cam Steed (174). Steed returns as an All-American after finishing seventh nationally at 165 pounds last year. Moore and Edmond are both multi-year NCAA qualifiers.

New faces expected to join the lineup are redshirt freshmen Mack Mauger (125) and Aeoden Sinclair (184). True freshman Seth Mendoza is set to make his collegiate debut at 141 pounds, while Edmond moves up to compete at 149 this season. Additionally, transfers Max Mayfield (165) and Evan Bates (197) from Northwestern have joined Missouri after qualifying for multiple NCAA tournaments.
