Tyler Kasak is currently redshirting and has two more seasons of NCAA eligibility. He is the only wrestler in this group headed to Albania with remaining eligibility.

Any number between 1 and 8 after the school name is the placement each wrestler acheived at the NCAA Championship. Each number greater than 8 is the round (or number of wrestlers left in the tournament) when the wrestler was eliminated from All-American contention at the NCAAs. Seasons in which the wrestler did not participate in the NCAA Championship for whatever reason are not listed.
