The Richmond, Illinois native is coming off a solid freshman season where he went 21-6 and finished fourth at the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships at 184 pounds. Dechow will start the year ranked second in the country at 184 pounds. He recently accepted an invitation to compete in the National Wrestling Coaches Association All-Star Classic on November 1 at the Palestra in Philadelphia. The NWCA All-Star Classic is an annual showcase of college wrestling in a dual meet format. Dechow will be the first Monarch to compete in the event since James Nicholson took to the mat in 2009. The first Monarch to compete in the event was Wayne Bright back in 1970. He wrestled Dan Gable in the match.
