2024 Olympic Redshirt Qualifier List

A current list of who’s qualified to take an Olympic Redshirt in the 2023-24 NCAA season

The NCAA season is right around the corner and it’s got me thinking – who will be competing for their college team and who will be focusing 100% on their Olympic dreams? Like real redshirts, the Olympic version is ongoing. You don’t need to formally declare your intentions to do so, and if you do plan on taking one you can still end it and begin competing for your team at any time. However, if you do take one, you cannot compete collegiately in the 203-24 season.

Let’s first take a look at the criteria:

  1. Past National Team members
  2. Top 8 at the April 2023 Senior US Open
  3. Top 8 at the December 2023 Senior US Nationals
  4. Top 3 at the 2023 NCAA D1 Wrestling Championships
  5. NCAA D1 champion from a previous year AND top 2 from 2023 U23 Nationals (must accomplish both)
  6. Previous U17, U20, or U23 World Medalists

The U23 World Championships are the only age-level World Championships remaining before the season. These athletes could still become eligible if they win a medal:

  • Julian Chlebove, Arizona State
  • Brock Hardy, Nebraska
  • Doug Zapf, Penn (potentially with Sammy Sasso likely no longer wrestling in U23 World Championships)
  • Julian Ramirez, Cornell
  • Dustin Plott, Oklahoma State
  • Nick Stemmet, Stanford
  • Yusief Lillie, Utah Valley (Greco)
  • Jordan Hamdan, Michigan State (Greco)
  • Tereus Henry, Fort Hayes State (Greco)

A wrestler could also become eligible if they place top 8 at Senior Nationals in December. However, they would not be able to compete attached before that unless they are a true freshman. … rest of story at … Flowrestling.org/articles/11207500-2024-olympic-redshirt-qualifier-list
