The 2023 NWCA All-Star Classic is Nov. 21 and features some of the best college wrestlers in the nation competing on the campus of Penn State in Happy Valley. 

The event has been around for decades but had a brief hiatus before FloWrestling helped revive the classic in 2022. Now back and as strong as ever, the 2023 event features some of the biggest matches fans will see outside the 2024 NCAA Wrestling Tournament and the 2023 Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational. 

The list of wrestlers includes the current No. 1 pound-for-pound ranked wrestler on FloWrestling’s rankings, Carter Starocci of Penn State Wrestling, as well as four more top-10-ranked wrestlers.
