    2021 Top 50 Ranking: Not Ranked

    What a return for Austin Gomez in 2021-22! Gomez showed plenty of promise as a redshirt freshman for Iowa State in 2018-19 with a regular season win over Austin DeSanto (Iowa) and an appearance in the NCAA Round of 12. He would go on to miss the next two years with injuries and even announced his retirement. Gomez decided to give it another shot and transferred to Wisconsin where he flourished. He went 15-2 during the regular season, then shocked 2021 Big Ten champion Sammy Sasso (Ohio State) in the conference finals. Gomez would replicate the feat in the NCAA consolations, on his way to a fourth-place showing.
