The men’s freestyle portion of the 2025 16U and Junior National Championships from Fargo, North Dakota is in the books. You can check out Jason Bryant’s Fargo Guide to track the long history of success in the FargoDome and how it correlates to winning at the collegiate and Senior levels. 
So that means you shouldn’t be surprised to see the wrestlers who found the podium yesterday to be the same ones challenging for the top eight at the NCAA Championships. And with the way that high school wrestlers have trained and are getting better than in past generations - we won’t wait very long for them to contend. 
Below are the wrestlers who earned All-American honors and have committed to wrestle at the next level. They are listed by their future home, along with their placement and weight. If there is no “Class of” listed then that particular wrestler is from the Class of 2025.

It didn’t take long, but the first major domino fell from recruiting in the Class of 2027. #8 overall, Salah Tsarni (Bullis School, MD) has committed to wrestle for the Air Force Academy. Tsarni came into this week ranked second in the nation at 175 lbs. 
Yesterday, we saw Tsarni advance to the finals of the 16U freestyle at 175 lbs in Fargo. In the championship match, Tsarni fell by a point to Pennsylvania’s Jayden O’Farrill by a point. Last year, Tsarni was third in 16U freestyle and fifth in Greco-Roman. 
Since the high school season ended, Tsarni has captured a title at NHSCA Sophomores and was a runner-up at the UWW U17 Trials in freestyle. 
Tsarni is a two-time National Prep All-American for Maryland’s Bullis School. As a sophomore, Tsarni was a runner-up at 165 pounds and placed seventh in 2023. 
Tsarni is a massive get for Sam Barber’s team. Should he maintain his ranking, he would be the highest ranked wrestler to enroll at the Air Force Academy since recruiting rankings have been commonplace (mid-2000’s). 
This might spark some movement on the recruiting front for the Class of 2027, as we have only been notified of one other recruit from the rising junior class. 
Air Force is a program that has been noted in the national recruiting rankings three times within the last five years. With a massive commitment like Tsarni, we could see Barber’s team back in the 2027 rankings. 
Here are Air Force’s recruits from 2026 and 2027.
