You never want to look too far ahead in this sport & counting your chickens before they hatch is often a mistake. Nevertheless, the Falcons have only crowned one three-time All-American in their history & that was Terry Isaacson all the way back in 1964. Coach Barber wasn't even born yet! So, it has to excite him to know that he potentially has the next three-time AA currently on his squad. It also has to probably have him a bit worried too. Being the class act that he is, he was genuinely happy to see Wyatt Hendrickson win an NCAA DI title, even if it was another uniform. But what a statement that would've made for Falcon wrestling. I do think overall that the move from the BIG 12 to the PAC-12 will benefit Air Force.
Before I get too far ahead of myself, I want to put in a word for Tucker Owens. The 2023 NCAA DI qualifier came up a little short of making it again last year. 8th in the BIG 12, he won some big matches for the blue & silver.

What a phenomenal season Carter Nogle had last year. 30 wins on the year, a 3rd place finish at the BIG 12 & 5th in the DI nation.

| 197 Karson Tompkins |
The focus this season is going to be on Carter Nogle, but Karson Tompkins will give the wrestling media plenty of reasons to pay attention to him too. The Texan won 23 matches last season, 8th in the BIG 12 & one match shy of being top 8 at Cliff Keen Las Vegas.
