All-Americans By Graduating Class & Big Board Position
All-Americans By Graduating Class & Big Board Position
A deep-dive into the age of this year's NCAA All-Americans and how good they were coming out of high school.
It's always interesting to go back and look at what wrestlers performed to their expectations coming out of high school, and what athletes overperformed. So, that's exactly what I have done.
Below are tables of each weight class' eight All-Americans and their position on their respective big board.
You can find the big boards at the following links: 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021
