Tab Thacker of Wildcats fame!

I have a hunch Hilday will soon be on this list. 

[Antitroll2828 223]

pound for pound I’d take caldwell over all of them, when healthy that dude was electric

Terkay's story is one of the best.  He was nothing in high school.  Then goes on to accomplish all that he did in college.  Truly inspiring.

To be fair he was twice the man in college that he was in HS. He started HS as a 138 pounder ended up at 190.

Scott Turner is one of my favorite former NC St grapplers. He beat Iowa St great Tim Krieger two different years at NCAAs (.once in finals).  iirc Krieger only had 3 career losses and Turner accounted for 2.

In 5 years I expect both Hidley brothers on this list.

Seriously. I wish he trained more sub defense. He would be unbeatable in mma.

I know he just gets sloppy at times  , and he cuts an insane amount of weight he fights at like 130 but he wrestled 152 in high school

[pamela 1,022]

I hope Tariq can string together another couple of tournament runs and make the list. Is his foot fully healed?

[killdozer 37]

They don't have Mike Macchiavello listed. 

They also don't have have Tariq or Hayden listed but they are still going so understandable.

After the big win over Cornell today, the rankings were updated. NC State and North Carolina State records were merged, and those guys should be in there now. Thanks, @killdozer!
