Meet the nominees for 2023-24 All-USA TODAY HSSA Boys Wrestler of the Year!

The USA TODAY High School Sports Awards is pleased to announce the 2023-24 All-USA TODAY HSSA Boys Wrestling Team!

These 25 All-USA Team members will be honored as nominees for national Boys Wrestler of the Year. The winner will be revealed in August in a series of announcements that will feature top athletes in 35 boys and girls sports awards categories — as well as special honors like Special Olympics Athlete of the Year, Play of the Year, Team of the Year and more!

Athletes were considered based on season-wide performance — with an emphasis on state playoffs and championships — and any other state, regional and/or national recognition. Team performance was also considered. Athletes who played less than half of their team's season schedule, or whose team does not compete in a state-sanctioned league with a tournament championship, were not considered this year. Visit the event website for more information on this year's fourth annual awards.

And the nominees are ...
