Be aware that NO LDS Returned Missionary has ever won an NCAA D1 wrestling Title. Not one. Utah wrestlers have the reputation for being good based on one wrestler. Cael Sanderson, 4x NCAA champ with a record of 159-0, One 2nd in the World and an Olympic Gold Medal.
In wrestling, two years off for a mission hurts the wrestler. Add in they have to compete on Sunday at the D1 level in NCAA's and you have a recipe for 2nd placers, not champions on the mat.
