45. Collin Palmer, Lakewood St. Edward, Wrestling, 2005-2009: Four-time state champion nearly ended his career as only the second wrestler in history who was undefeated against Ohio competition. Only an 8-5 loss to Graham’s David Taylor – in the only meeting ever between three-time defending state champs – last year kept him from the feat. Palmer ended his career 147-4 and debuted at No. 1 in the nation during his senior year at 140. He finished ranked No. 2. Palmer is now at Ohio State. He was also an Ironman and Beast of the East winner.
