Braswell is the only seeded wrestler from 2020 in this bracket and, along with Kubesh, is one of two returning 2020 qualifiers. He has gone undefeated so far. Kubesh qualified last year as the runner-up in the Upper Midwest region, finishing second to the eventual top seed at the 2020 championships. Kyner qualified at 125 in 2019 but fell to 8th in the region last season.

Friddle just missed out on qualifying last year, but he is undefeated so far in 2021 including a win over Kyner. Rosen and Chavez have been in the rankings this year with Rosen only dropping a close match to Kyner and Chavez unbeaten so far. A handful of other 2020 regional placewinners are entered here as well.
