I also only have data through 2021. Now I"m going to have to go searching through pdfs just to prove a point.

Cam Amine is close, but he's a 4xAA.

Andonian was 7th in 23, met other than that

Got It! We were searching for a big boy who did it across 2 programs as the 9, 9, and 10 seed. Placed 6th, 5th and 2nd

There is our hero.

Wow, not related at all, but stumbled across it. Ryan Morningstar wrestled in 9 overtime matches in 19 matches at the NCAA tournament. He had 5 in a row spanning the 2009 and 2010 tournaments.

Will Lewan has a Ryan Morningstar poster in his room.

Lewan was 4-2 in his 6 OT matches, the same winning % as Morningstar (6-3). But with 9 OT matches Morningstar is the King of the "But, Wait. There Is More" Hill.

But the real King of the Deep Water was Illinois' John Lockhart. Across the 2001 and 2002 tournaments he went to OT 7 times and he got his hand raised 7 times.

Now you might be tempted to think that the Illinois coaches of that era had something figured out about OT tactics. But you would be wrong.

The other end of the spectrum is poor Griff Powell, Illinois' 157 rep between 2000 and 2002. He went to )T 5 times in those three tournaments and never got his hand raised once.

And Powell was no piker. He finished 8th in 2002 after a blood round lose in 2001.

I'm guessing Pat Pop and Tannenbaum didn't think they'd be connected to these OT kings

Your path tool is pretty rad. If you have all of Billy Baldwin's wrestling connections, you could see all the college wrestlers that are 6 degrees or less away from Kevin Bacon. Billy is 1 degree of separation away from Kevin Bacon (Flatliners).
