2023 NCAA Division III The Season: Adrian

 


The general rule thumb in NCAA Division III is that most of last year's "seniors" will not be taking the extra season that was granted to them via COVID-19. As a result I am treating both two time NCAA Division III qualifier/2021 All American Isaiah Espinoza as well as 2021 NCAA DIII qualifier Derick Duvall as if they are not returning this season. As to this upcoming year, the Bulldogs return a NCAA qualifier from last year as well as one from 2021. 

197 lbs 
Dylan Wellbaum 

Senior Dylan Wellbaum made the Central Region finals last season going 28-7 as an NCAA DIII qualifier. The criminal justice major will look to earn another finals appearance within the region & a second trip to the national tournament. 

133 lbs
Tanner Smith 

After qualifying for the NCAA DIII Championships in 2021, senior Tanner Smith came up short of a second qualification last season going 19-7 overall. In his final season as a Bulldog he should make it back to the national tournament.
