Past USA Wrestling All-Americans

[cbg]

Looking on the USA Wrestling Magazine website I found the following Tennessee wrestlers that became high school All-Americans. If you see a ? it is that I have no additional information on this wrestler. Where did these wrestlers attend college and what are they doing now. As you will see some years Tennessee did not have anyone listed as an All-American. Why were Adrian Norfleet (Whites Creek) 3X Champion, Kenny Hill (East Ridge) 3X Georgia Champion & 1X Tennessee Champion or Michael Carletello (Father Ryan) 2X Champion not given All-American consideration? All 3 of these wrestlers won their titles before the D1/D2 split and would be in the top 15 best wrestlers ever in Tennessee with Norfleet pushing for number one. Was it just a case of someone failed to send the information to the magazine?

I KNOW A COUPLE OF "?". CARTER DAVIS WRESTLED AT MORRISTOWN EAST. ROGER KENDRICK IS FROM EAST RIDGE AND WRESTLED AT UT-KNOXVILLE IN 1985 & 86. THEN THEY DROPPED THEIR WRESTLING TEAM.

Albert Wilson from 1970 was at Baylor. He was a multi-time Mid South champion and a National Prep champion. He went to Chapel Hill and as far as I know did not wrestle there.

It looks like we have most of the information. What about 1980 Marc Pendgrass & 1984 Jeff Eaves? Could these be a mistake by USA Wrestling Magazine and the gentlemen did not wrestle in Tennessee? I have not been able to find them in the TSSAA records. These are just the All-Americans from the USA Wrestling Magazine publication but what about the All-Americans from Amateur Wrestling News and the kids that became All-Americans at the Senior Nationals? Would it not be great for the Tennessee Wrestling Federation to post all of the past Tennessee All-Americans on their website?

Jeff Eaves was the 1984 TN. State Champion at 185 lbs. He wrestled at Tyner along with Jeff Haven and Brad Jackson who were both pretty dang tough that year.

What about the Head Coach for Ensworth now who was a state champion for Overton and a National champion as well back in the 90's? He was never an All-American?
