In 2021, USA Wrestling created the National High School Recruiting Showcase series as an opportunity to let the top high school athletes showcase their talent in front of college coaches.

The National High School Recruiting Showcase event has previously been held in the spring. The decision was made to shift the boys event to the fall in order to help athletes accelerate their recruiting process.


In the spring of 2022, the Boys National Recruiting Showcase featured over 125 state high school champions, Prep School champions or NHSCA All-Americans, plus numerous 2022 state place winners. The 2021 National High School Recruiting Showcase included 110 boys state champions from 36 different states.


The Brian Keck Memorial Preseason Nationals event has sold out in several divisions in 2021 and 2022, with 44 different states represented.


High School boys who are not qualified for the High School recruiting showcase should enter the 9th-10th and 11th -12th grade divisions of the Brian Keck Memorial Preseason Nationals.

Note: The 2023 Girls National High School Recruiting Showcase, contested in freestyle, will once again be held in the spring at South Point Hotel, Casino and Spa in Las Vegas, Nev., as part of the U.S. Open Championships event.
