Following up on our previous article, “10 Women to Watch this College Season<\/a>“, here are the top 10 men we think you should watch out for this 2016-2017 season. Featuring numerous Olympians and multiple-time national champions, the guys on this list will be sure to provide chills and thrills this coming March at NCAAs.<\/p>\n

Sprinters<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

1. Caeleb Dressel<\/span><\/h2>\n

Two words to describe Dressel? Fastest ever. The NCAA record holder in the 50 and 100 freestyles (18.20 and 40.46, respectively) returns for his junior season after a successful summer in Rio, cumulating in a gold medal by leading off Team USA’s 4×100 freestyle relay. Dressel isn\u2019t just a one stroke specialist either– he took second in the 100 fly behind former Bolles teammate Joseph Schooling<\/strong>, racing to the third fastest time in history (44.40). The Gators’ addition of National High School record holder Chandler Bray<\/strong> will free Dressel from the breaststroke leg of the medley relay, meaning the first sub-40 second 100 split could be seen at this years NCAAs. <\/span><\/p>\n

2. Ryan Held<\/span><\/h2>\n

Ryan Held made his Olympic debut with an extremely respectable 47.73 second split on the US’s gold medal-winning 4×100 freestyle relay. He returns to Raleigh to work with an exceptional coaching staff at North Carolina State. The Wolfpack graduates Lithuanian sprinter Simonas Bilis<\/strong> but with Held returning as the third fastest 50 (18.92) and 100 (41.69) freestyler in the nation, this shouldn\u2019t be a problem. Look for Ryan Held to be leading the Wolfpack this year as they hunt for a top-three finish at this year\u2019s National Championships.<\/span><\/p>\n

Honorable Mentions<\/h3>\n

Brett Ringgold – Texas<\/p>\n

Paul Powers – Michigan<\/p>\n

Distance<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

3. Townley Haas<\/span><\/h2>\n

Texas\u2019s freshman sensation returns with high expectations for his sophomore year. Haas exploded at NCAAs to win the 200 in 1:30.46 and 500 in 4:09.00, cracking Simon Burnett<\/strong>\u2019s legendary record of 1:31.20 in the former and just missing Peter Vanderkaay<\/strong>\u2019s American record of 4:08.54 in the latter. Haas laid down the fastest 200m split (1:44.14) of any swimmer in the 800 free relay in Rio, besting his individual time of 1:45.66 by far. Haas has been on a huge upward trajectory since joining the Longhorns and shows no sign of slowing down his development this season. <\/span><\/p>\n

4. Clark Smith<\/span><\/h2>\n

Clark Smith had a disappointing NCAA outing last year after adding eight seconds in the 500 and over 18 in the 1650. However, he entered the meet as the top distance swimmer in both the 500 (4:08.82) and the mile (14:31.29). Despite a poor NCAA meet, Smith was able to regroup by the time Olympic Trials came around. He \u00a0qualified for Rio where he won a gold medal as part of the United States’ 4×200 relay team. Looking for redemption in his senior season, Smith may well find himself atop an NCAA podium in March.<\/span><\/p>\n

Honorable Mentions<\/h3>\n

Akaram Mahmoud – South Carolina<\/p>\n

Matt Hutchins – Wisconsin<\/p>\n

Breaststroke<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

5. Will Licon<\/span><\/h2>\n
\"will-licon-\"

Licon has been a mainstay on Texas\u2019s roster since he dethroned Kevin Cordes<\/strong> in the 200 breast two years ago. Since then he has won numerous NCAA titles, including one last year in the 200 breast, where he cracked what many considered to be an untouchable record: Kevin Cordes\u2019s mark of 1:48.66. Licon swam a time of 1:48.12. This year, the Longhorn may decide to swim the 100 breast over the 400 IM, which he won in 2015. Licon\u2019s 100 breast split (51.81) going out for his record-setting 200 would have earned him a cool third in the individual event; his split in the 400 medley relay was the fastest in the field. A packed field in the 400 IM featuring freshly-minted Olympian Jay Litherland<\/strong> and returning American record holder Chase Kalisz<\/strong> along with six of eight returning ‘A’ finalists may pressure Licon into taking the easier route in order to score more points for Texas in the fight against\u00a0Cal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Honorable Mentions<\/h3>\n

Fabian Schwingenschlogl – Missouri<\/p>\n

Brandon Fiala – Virginia Tech<\/p>\n

Backstroke<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

6. Ryan Murphy<\/span><\/h2>\n
\"ryan-murphy-after-winning-100-back-at-2016-santa-clara\"

The undisputed king of backstroke returns to Cal for the final time. Boasting the fastest times in history in the 100 and 200 yard backstrokes (43.49\u00a0and 1:35.73), Murphy will look to team up with Connor Hoppe<\/strong>, Matthew Josa<\/strong>, and Long Gutierrez<\/strong> to form a deadly medley relay combo for the Golden Bears. Murphy adds a topflight 200 IM (1:40.27) which makes him an NCAA title contender along with Licon of Texas. Both men have a chance to join David Nolan<\/strong> in the sub-1:40 club this season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Honorable Mentions<\/h3>\n

Connor Oslin – Alabama<\/p>\n

Hennessey Stuart – NC State<\/p>\n

Butterfly<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

7. Joseph Schooling<\/span><\/h2>\n

After edging out Ian Crocker<\/strong>\u2019s long-standing textile world record of 50.40 by one one-hundredth of a second and winning the 100m butterfly at the Rio Olympic Games, Schooling should anticipate another sweep of the butterfly events this year. The Singaporean native smashed the old NCAA records in breakaway fashion, edging out teammate Jack Conger<\/strong> in the 200 by less than a tenth of a second to win it in 1:37.97 and cracking Austin Staab<\/strong>\u2019s super-suited record of 44.18 but barely missing the 44-second barrier in a time of 44.01. The lethal Texas squad of Schooling, Conger, Licon, and Haas will look to lock down another National Championship this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Jack Conger<\/span><\/h2>\n
\"jack-conger-relay-dive-usa-rio\"

One of many famed Nation\u2019s Capital Swim Club products, Jack Conger was the top ranked recruit in 2013. Primarily known as a backstroker before arriving in Austin, Conger has found his butterfly speed in college. A year ago, he broke the American record in the 200 fly by over a second in 1:38.06. However, he was out-touched by Singaporean teammate Joseph Schooling for the title. His time in the 200 butterfly is incredible\u00a0nonetheless, and in his senior year that may be his best chance at an individual NCAA title. Conger opted for the 100 fly at NCAAs last year where he finished third, but his best time in the 200 free (1:31.89) is the second fastest returning time this year behind fellow Longhorn Haas, meaning Conger will have some decisions to make going into his last NCAAs.<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Matthew Josa<\/span><\/h2>\n
\"matthew-josa-100-butterfly-mesa-2016\"

Matthew Josa arrives in Berkeley after spending his first two years of eligibility at Division II Queens University and <\/span>training with David Marsh<\/strong> at SwimMac Elite. Josa is by far the biggest transfer in the NCAA this year and will go a long way towards maintaining points lost to the graduation of Josh Prenot<\/strong> and Jacob Pebley<\/strong>. His 44.89 100 fly is over a second faster than teammate Justin Lynch<\/strong>, who he will likely take the place of in the medley relays. Josa has immediate scoring potential in multiple events: along with the 100 fly, which he would have taken a close 4th behind Conger (44.87), Josa\u2019s 200 IM (1:41.94) would have taken 7th. His 200 fly (1:42.96) would have also sneaked into the B final to make him a triple event threat.<\/span><\/p>\n

Honorable Mentions<\/h3>\n

Andrew Seliskar – California<\/p>\n

Lucas Kaliszak – Alabama<\/p>\n

IM<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

10. Chase Kalisz<\/span><\/h2>\n
\"chase-kalisz-400-im-prelims-reaction-2016-rio-olympics\"

Kalisz returns to Athens, Georgia after a stellar Olympic redshirt year where he trained with Bob Bowman<\/strong> and Michael Phelps<\/strong> at Arizona State. Kalisz is another swimmer returning off a strong Olympic campaign that saw him snag a come-from-behind silver medal in the 400 IM over Daiya Seto<\/strong> of Japan. The Maryland native also holds the American record in the yards version of the same event in 3:34.50, which is almost 1.5 seconds faster than the next fastest performance in history. Kalisz will also be looked to in the butterfly events, where he was the 2015 SEC champion for the Bulldogs in the 200 (1:41.70)<\/span><\/p>\n

Honorable Mentions<\/h3>\n

Jay Litherland – Georgia<\/p>\n

Gunnar Bentz – Georgia<\/p>\n
