The National Wrestling Coaches Association has released the 2019 Division II Scholar All-American Honorees. Upper Iowa wrestlers claimed 12 of the 212 student-athletes across 41 NCAA Division II institutions. The dozen Peacocks were second only to Maryville University, who claimed 15 places on the academic list.
 
Leading the way for Upper Iowa's 12 honorees is Cody Nelson, who earned a spot on the prestigious list for the fourth time. Nelson joined four other student-athletes across the country to earn the honor for the fourth time.
 
The remaining 11 Peacock wrestlers to be tabbed as Scholar All-Americans are three-time award winner Jamie Gehling, two-timers Nick Baumler, Tucker Black, Aaron Maloy, Dalton Nelson, Tanner Prochaska, Mac Spotts and first-timers Jordan Baumler, Connor Manderfeld, Tate Murty and Donny Schmit.
 
In order for a student-athlete to be nominated to the Division II All-Academic Team, he must have a minimum 3.5 cumulative grade point average on a 4.0 scale, with that benchmark at 3.25 for those who qualified for the 2019 NCAA Division II Wrestling Championships and 3.0 for those who earned All-American status for the 2019 season. The athlete must also have competed in a minimum of six dates of competition.
