David Taylor x2 and Jon Trenge x3 for me.  
I would also include Mocco’s freshman year.

Trenge 4x, if you include his Frosh season, when he had a late-season detached retina. Trenge beat the eventual NCAA 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th place winners during the season.

Have to go with Dan Gable on this one. Perfection for years only to lose the last match of his College career. A bigger upset than just one season, it was the first loss in his career in folkstyle wrestling. 64-0 in High School. 117-0 in College. The final Title in his grasp to finisih a perfect career.

" Before the match, Gable had recorded a promo for ABC saying, “Hi, I’m Dan Gable. Come watch me as I finish my career 182-0.”

This is Folkstyle where Gable reigned supreme. In Freestyle he had lost five times to Bobby Douglas while trying to make the 1868 Olympic team.

For a year or career in Folkstyle I think Gable is #1 in this one.

2020 and 2021 Michael Kemerer - lost final match of both years to Hall and Starocci. He beat both during those seasons. 

2023 Spencer Lee - we take it for granted, but he was teching and pinning AA's all year until the upset. I doubt anybody mentioned has a similar season besides DT.

Gable pinfelled 31 of 33 prior to losing.

I meant whichever year he lost to Suriano in the finals. I guess sophomore year.

2019 He lost frosh year to Suriano (and Phillippi)

2021 his best win was DeSanto but nothing historic, lost in finals to RBY

2022 was fine but not historic

2023 he finished 4th
