Although the full schedule has yet to be released, Virginia Tech marks the fifth home match on the books. Rutgers is also set to face Ohio State, Minnesota, Maryland, and Minnesota. They will face Michigan, Michigan State, Penn State, and Purdue on the road.

Once the date is announced, the matchup with Virginia Tech will not be one that Rutgers fans want to miss. The Hokies ranked No. 10 in the final NWCA Coaches Poll and produced five All-Americans at the 2023 NCAA Wrestling Championships last March in Tulsa, Oklahoma. However, it is a match the Scarlet Knights are ready for.
Over the last few months, Rutgers has been busy adding to their roster. The new additions include Jacob Walter, Mitch Moore, and Yaraslau Slavikouski. The talented trio brings plenty of experience and accolades to Piscataway. They will be relied on heavily against a top-ten team like the Hookies.

They are joining a Scarlet Knights team that finished No. 22 in the final 2022-23 NWCA Coaches Poll. It was the 10th final top-25 finish for the Scarlet Knights under head coach Scott Goodale. With a roster full of talent, the 2023-2024 season should be no different.
