10. Austin O’Connor, UNC: As a redshirt sophomore, O'Connor ran through the ACC, winning all of his bouts with the exception of one loss to Big Ten Champion Pat Lugo. Everything was set for O'Connor to chase the podium again, but COVID wrecked those plans. O'Connor took that adversity and turned 2021 into his storybook year, going undefeated.
