Believe it or not at one time the Ragin' Cajuns had a varsity wrestling team. I was unable to find out when it started, but I do know that it was discontinued after the 1977-1978 season.

| Denis Tallini |
After wrestling for two season in the NJCAA for Mohawk Valley Community College in New York, Tallini finished up his collegiate career at Louisiana-Lafayette.

| Cliff Strider |
After a successful career at East Jefferson High School where he finished in third place as a junior before winning a state title as a senior, Strider wrestled his freshman year at Louisiana-Lafayette. After the Ragin' Cajun wrestling program was discontinued, Strider transferred to Louisiana State to finish up his career. While still in college, before his own wrestling career was over, he took over as head coach of Baton Rouge High school.
Later in life he officiated thirty-seven Louisiana High School state championships in a row.

Ruiz won three state titles for Holy Cross High School in 1966, 1967 & 1968 before coming to Louisiana-Lafayette.
