The NCAA released its first coaches ranking for the 2022 NCAA Wrestling Championships and all 10 Cowboys landed spots in the poll.
AJ Ferrari landed the No. 1 spot at 197 and Daton Fix landed the No. 2 spot at 133. Three other Cowboys, Trevor Mastrogiovanni (125), Travis Wittlake (165), and Dustin Plott (174) are all projected to finish as All-Americans.
The coaches rankings are determined by a vote of 14 coaches in each weight class with two head coaches from each of the seven conferences. For ranking purposes, coaches may only consider a wrestler that has been designated as a starter at a respective weight class.
