A total of 368 individuals from 62 institutions were honored as Scholar All-American. This marks the most institutions and individuals honored in the history of the award.
 
Indianapolis also led the individual side with 16 wrestlers honored, while Nebraska-Kearney had 12 individuals. Both Northern State and St. Cloud State had 11 individual honorees.

Wrestlers must have competed in four dates of competition.
