Under the guidance of reigning Dan Gable and NCAA Tournament Coach of the Year Scott Goodale, Rutgers is coming off an historic 2018-19 campaign which was capped by the program's first individual NCAA titles from Anthony Ashnault and Nick Suriano, as well as its first top-10 finish at the national tournament. Rutgers wrestled to a 12-6 dual record in 2018-19, which included wins over three ranked foes - No. 10 Wisconsin, No. 19 Princeton and No. 20 Purdue.
RU returns five national qualifiers this season, including Suriano, who secured a 29-3 record to go along with his Big Ten and NCAA titles. The Scarlet Knights also feature an incoming 2019 freshman class ranked No. 4 in the country by FloWrestling. The group includes four 2019 NJSIAA state champions - Sammy Alvarez, JoJo Aragona, Robert Kanniard and Zach DelVecchio - as well as highly-regarded prospects Gerard Angelo, Devon Britton, Jackson Turley and Ryan Vulakh.
