It is the first time the NWCA has compiled a freshman all-academic team list and recipients must meet the same criteria required for the Divisions I, II, III and NAIA All-Academic Teams. In order to qualify, freshmen must have at least a 3.2 cumulative grade point average, been an NCAA qualifier or won 60 percent of his total schedule, competing in at least 60 percent of the team's schedule. Wrestlers who have a 3.0 cumulative GPA and are an NCAA All-American also are eligible.
