Then I will give you a hint. This wrestler comes from one of the few teams to win a team title, though they failed to win the year he set the record (if you can even call it that).
Jesse Whitmer took out three once, but he did it as a #6 seed.
Ronnie Perry only ever beat a single top 8 in a tournament and was a near miss on the seed that year (15).
Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
Though I just had pork chops stuffed with prosciutto and fontina. And that was a winner.
Now, the other two are gonna be tough.
Branch had only wins over three top 8, the #12 seed and an unseeded wrestler.
Brewer also only had 3 top 8 wins, plus a win in the teens and an unseeded win. But he did it twice. However, he did it as a 4 seed and a 13 seed.
Only 7 wrestlers have 4 wins against top 8 seeded wrestlers in a single tournament from an unseeded position or the bottom half of the bracket.
Who is the last to do it?
Last season they released a ranking on Jan.23, Feb. 13, and Feb.27. The fourth set of coaches' rankings are not release, but are used for final field selection.
Clearly they all happened. But I am of the opinion that the fifth one is irrelevant for deciding Mt. Rushmore status. And now I feel a little icky about the other four.
