A comment on FRL this morning got me thinking about who has won an NCAA title with the most career losses? And who had the most losses in the season they won a title? I did a quick, very partial scan of wrestlingstats and the most I could find was J Jaggers with 32 career loses and J Jaggers with 9 loses in 2009 when he won as a senior.

I believe Branch had a losing record going into NCAA's in '94 (his freshman year). I remember seeing it in the NCAA program that year and here's an excerpt from an article I just dug up...... Mark Branch of Oklahoma State reached the NCAA Championship finals four times, placing first in 1994, second in 1995 and 1996, and first in 1997. Branch entered the 1994 NCAA Championships as a freshman with an 8-9 record and shocked the field by winning the 167-pound bracket. Pat Smith, his Cowboy teammate, made history by becoming the first wrestler to win four NCAA Division I titles in the weight class before Branch, so there was an expectation that Branch would also win four. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boconnell Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 How about the fact that Jake Rosholt had 20 career losses for his 3 titles (and a 3rd). He stopped caring about duals and the regular season before it was popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Carr is 2nd with a a record of 122-17-1, followed by Mark Schultz with a 97-15. Neither of them were 4x AAs like Rosholt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
