Made a promise at the beginning of last year that in the '23-'24 season JT#1 would start doing coverage of NJCAA wrestling! Seems fairly straightforward. Two year programs. If you were a freshman last season, then you're a sophomore this season. If you were a sophomore last season, you are moving on to a four year school to finish up your last two years of eligibility. Unfortunately, it isn't that simple.
Some of last year's freshmen will be redshirting this season. Then with the whole COVID-19 ordeal, some of last year's 'sophomores' will still be back.
So with that said, take it easy on me if some of these guys listed are redshirting or have already moved on to a four year school!
And of course, unintentionally I'll probably leave off a few names that belong on the list. If so, mention their names. The more the merrier.
Now....
The top returnees in NJCAA wrestling '23-'24 141 lbs!
 |
| Easton Taylor Pratt |
A South Central District champion & a NJCAA runner-up last season, Easton Taylor will be a forerunner to win an NJCAA title this season. It's a shame that Kansas State no longer fields a varsity wrestling program, cause if it did, I might guess where the Manhattan, Kansas native will end up post his junior college wrestling career.
Another top returnee at 141 lbs in the NJCAA this season will be two time Nebraska High School State runner-up Malachi Bordovsky who was 6th in the nation last year.
The Warrior placed 7th in the NJCAA last season & will look to improve upon his finish as he looks to earn AA #2.
Putting together a 19-8 record last season, the Florida native made it to the finals of the North Central District, finishing one match shy of earning NJCAA All American honors.
Placing 6th at the West Central District, Zane Lucksavage was an NJCAA qualifier last season.
