It may be the NCAA offseason, but October will be rolling around soon enough.

We've already taken a look at the top 20 teams ranked by order of returning NCAA points. Now we are going through each weight class and highlight every All-American returning for the 2017-18 season.

Top 20 Returning NCAA Team Points | 125 Returning AAs | 133 Returning AAs | 141 Returning AAs | 149 Returning AAs | 157 Returning AAs

We will have a better idea of who will be taking redshirts and what weight classes they will be in as we get closer to the start of the season. Until then, here are our best guesses, though feel free to holler at us with any updates on those topics.

165 Pounds

Returns 3 National Championships and 10 All-American Honors

Giant slayer Vincenzo Joesph of Penn State returns at 165, as does the slain giant, two-time NCAA champion Isaiah Martinez of Illinois. Those three titles make 165 one of the most top-heavy weights next year. To that duo add Logan Massa, who's yet to lose to a collegiate match to someone who doesn't possess an NCAA championship, including during his redshirt season. Though Penn State returns the defending champ (as it does in four other divisions) this may be one of the most competitive weights in college next season.

Isaiah Martinez, Illinois 1, 1, 2, ?

One of the most exciting wrestlers in college, Isaiah Martinez burst onto the scene with an undefeated championship freshman season. The Fighting Illini followed it up with a one-loss (to Jason Nolf) championship sophomore season. The California native then bumped up to 165 and notched a one-loss NCAA runner-up season. IMar handled the transition to 165 well and still owns a 2-1 career lead in matches over Joseph. Martinez will have one more year of eligibility to get revenge for St. Louis and add accolades to his already legendary career.

Vincenzo Joseph, Penn State 1, ?, ?, ?

Few wrestlers should inspire more faith in head coach Cael Sanderson and the system he has in place at Penn State. Joseph came to State College as a blue-chip recruit, had a quality redshirt year, and then took over 165 for the Nittany Lions. Joseph steadily improved on the year. He lost a wild one to Stanford Keaton Subject early on, lost in sudden victory to Wisconsin's NCAA finalist Isaac Jordan, and then lost two progressively closer matches to Martinez before his dramatic pin of the champ in St. Louis. It would appear that the sky is the limit for Pennsylvanian native.

Logan Massa, Michigan 3, ?, ?, ?

If it weren't for Martinez and Joseph sucking all the air out of the weight class, Logan Massa would be the most hyped returning starter at this weight. The Michigan native has been nearly unbeatable since he arrived on campus in Ann Arbor. His lone loss his redshirt season was to Oklahoma State three-time champ Alex Dieringer. Last season, the first time starting varsity, Massa only dropped three matches, two to Martinez and one to Joseph. LoMa (not his nickname) has been lights out against the rest of the field, and it's certainly not out of the question that he gets the better of either Joseph or Martinez (or both) next season.

Chad Walsh, Rider DNP, 5, 7, ?

Walsh is part of a resurgent Rider wrestling program under the tutelage of newly minted head coach John Hangey. Walsh will have some stiff competition in his weight class, but with two All-American honors under his belt, C-Wal (also probably not his nickname) is on pace to be one of the most decorated Broncs athletes in school history.

Chandler Rogers, Oklahoma State DNP, 5, ?, ?

Following Alex Dieringer's graduation, this blue-chip recruit was able to move down to his more natural weight and man 165 pounds for the Oklahoma State Cowboys. The move paid off for C-Roj (sorry, can't help myself anymore), who scored an All-American honor last season after getting stopped in the bloodround in 2016. The Cowboys are going to need Rogers to replicate that result next year in Cleveland if they are going to challenge for a title.

David McFadden, Virginia Tech 6, ?, ?, ?

McFadden had an outstanding true freshman season, earning All-American honors with a sixth-place finish in Madison Square Garden in 2016. The New Jersey native spent last season on a redshirt and should be ready to slide back into the Hokies' lineup with another year of training and experience under his belt, helping make D-McFads (yeah, not stopping) one of the most dangerous middleweights coming out of the ACC next season.

Brandon Womack, Cornell DNP, 8, ?, ?

Cornell head coach Rob Koll was tinkering with his starting lineup right up until weigh-ins of the EIWA tournament. One major question mark of last season was if senior Dylan Palacio would be down at 157, making room for sophomore Brandon Womack. Thankfully for B-Wo (last one, I promise), Palacio did make the cut, and the Alabama Assassin not only won the EIWAs but also upset Arizona State's Anthony Valencia in the bloodround to sneak into the podium and claim eighth place.
