Who's Who of NJCAA Collegiate Wrestling: Top Returnees 174 lbs for 2024-2025

 

Otgonbayar Batsuuri
Northwest Kansas Tech

Without a doubt in my mind, we're going to be watching this guy succeed for many years to come.  He won both the South Central District & the NJCAA title last season, and he'll be the forerunner to win both again this year.  Then we'll watch him continue to succeed at another college for two years, then after that we'll be watching him represent Mongolia with much success at the international level.  

Isaac White
Southeast CC

You know reading these other NJCAA previews, I'm excited to see the Bobcats crown their first NJCAA champ.  Isaac White, a Plains District champ last season, came close with an NJCAA runner-up finish.  If anyone might be able to give Batsuuri a run for his money, perhaps White, who no doubt will have improved over the summer, may be the man to do it.
