Yeah, it’s all about the All Americans.

Okay, and the hardware. And Rutgers is bringing a couple of those babies home.

The Rutgers Finish & All Americans

It’s only happened twice before at Rutgers.

Two All Americans in the same year.

And now it’s happened two years in a row.

Anthony Ashnault became the first three-time All-American in Scarlet Knight history. Rutgers has produced at least one All-American in each of the past four seasons and six overall under head coach Scott Goodale. With Ashnault and Ken Theobold advancing to the podium at the 2017 NCAA Wrestling Championships, it marked just the third time in program history that it has had two placewinners.
