MANHEIM, Pa. – Chadron State men's wrestling took home a program-record nine Scholar All-American awards from the National Wrestling Coaches Assocation (NWCA) on Monday. 

The nine Eagles earning the honor are Torry Early, Grady Fox, Keegan Gehlhausen, Skyler Geier-Dodson, Reese Jacobs, Dominic Joyce, Caleb Nadig, Brandon Paredes and Mason Villwok. 

It is the third consecutive season winning an NWCA Scholar All-American award for Brandon Paredes, and the second career honor for Torry Early and Reese Jacobs. Paredes was previously named to the RMAC All-Academic Honor Roll on March 27, joining Fox, Geier-Dodson and Joyce. 

Chadron State's nine selections are an improvement over six selections in each of the past two seasons and are the most in the 14-year tenure of CSC head coach Brett Hunter. 

Student-athletes are eligible for the honor by competing in four or more events during the 2024-25 season and having a 3.50 GPA or better. The GPA eligibility requirements are lowered to 3.25 for student-athletes who qualify for nationals and 3.00 for student-athletes who win All-American honors on the mat.
