For Dreshaun Ross, recruiting officially kicked off nearly 16 months earlier than most of his Class of 2026 wrestling peers.

USA Wrestling will determine its U17 World Team this weekend at the US Open in Las Vegas. As expected, this year's tournament has enticed some of the top young wrestling talents in the country to compete.

This year's U17 US Open is as deep as any tournament in recent memory. There aren't many top high schoolers who haven't registered, so wrestling fans should expect to see some of the best high school action of the year with a whole lot at stake. Here's what to expect at every weight.

On the Senior level, the US Open will set the stage for Final X, but there's plenty to watch at the U17 and U20 divisions as well. The U17 division will conclude with a best-of-three series that will decide the World Team, shake up the high school rankings, and establish some wrestlers' cases to be in Who's Number One. High Schoolers in the U20 division will compete against other elite peers but will also test themselves against guys who have been seasoned in college rooms for a year or two.
