For the past six NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships, longtime wrestling writer and broadcaster Jason Bryant has produced a digital preview guide for the wrestling fans and media. Despite there the 2020 NCAA Division I Championship being canceled, Bryant continued to produce the 217-page guide, which now serves as a de facto tournament program and yearbook.
Included annually are the individual results of all 330 wrestlers, dual meet polls and standings, comparative media rankings and historical breakout stats published only in Bryant’s guide.
Mike Couzens, ESPN’s lead broadcaster for the last several Division I Championships, is one of many media members who use the guide for their live coverage and prep work. “Jason’s guide is the most comprehensive source of information I’ve ever used on any sport - period.”
Bryant has made his guide available for fans who still crave the history and information about the 330 athletes. Some of the other exclusive content within is a historical capsule on each Division I program, the home state of every Division I All-American dating back to the start of the NCAA wrestling tournament as well as breakouts from the 2020 qualifiers.
“I was already more than halfway done with it when I started getting requests on whether or not I’d continue to do it even after the tournament was canceled,” said Bryant, who worked at USA Wrestling in Communications from 2009-2012. “Once the previous customers showed there was demand, I figured I’d just push it out and consider it more of a digital memento or a yearbook of sorts. It’s been growing in popularity and all that history needs a place to live for fans.”
“I also wouldn’t be able to develop this without cooperation and great relationships with groups like the NWCA, Trackwrestling and WrestleStat, all of whom have provided input in past and present iterations of the guide,” said Bryant.
