A transition to NCAA Division I wrestling has to be one of the most challenging things in all of collegiate wrestling. It's a rough road and many teams have struggled with it. To make the challenge even more difficult, two of the Royals best wrestlers have since graduated. Three time NCAA DII qualifier/2021 NCAA DII All American Noah Curreri & Super Region 3rd place-winner Stephon Halliburton. What I do know is that Queens has good coaches in Rob Tate, Paul Bradley & Alex Ventura. The three of them will make the transition as smooth and successful as possible.

| 197 Austin Watkins |
Of the Royals who are going to hold their own in NCAA DI wrestling this season, if I were a betting man, I'd put my money on Austin Watkins. An NCAA DII qualifier last season, he was 3rd in the Super Region IV. The SOCON will be rough & rocky waters, but if Queens has a ship that can sail through, I believe Watkins is it.
