got it so those with only three years of eligibility dont count I take it?  

Dan Gable was one of the answers. Three years count.

Tom and Terry Brands?

Tom came closest, but only did the deed three of four times. While Terry did it three out of three times he qualified for the tournament, losing the wrestleoff his freshman year knocks him out of the box.

Sorry - mental hiccup.  This is fun though

Indeed he has to because he is. Nailed it.

Ah, how did I not think of him sooner?! The famous Les Anderson of Iowa State managed the feat in 1958, 1959, and 1960. 

Who could forget the #2 seed Anderson pulling the 7-5 upset over Michigan's #1 seeded Max Pearson?

Les' dreams of being a three-timer were famously thwarted when he fell to Oklahoma's Stan Abel in 1959.

We all know the story of how Les Anderson moved up from 130 to 137 for his final season where he once again stood atop the podium to finish his college career.

Does Alan Fried count since his school was sanctioned in 93?  He is otherwise three for three

You know what? I am going to give you that one. I know it is a technicality, but I like that I did not think of it and you did. So we are back to a Fab Five after all.
