Wesley Brown Jr. (Wrestling, 1931-33)

Brown, a captain of the wrestling team, was a three-time Big Ten champion at 175 pounds, Northwestern's only three-time winner. As a sophomore in 1931, he helped the Wildcats win their first Big Ten wrestling championship and then proceeded to reach the NCAA semifinals that year. He again reached the NCAA semifinals in 1933, but was forced to default with a knee injury.

Brown later served as a lieutenant commander in the U.S. Navy Reserve, then became a detective with the Evansville, Indiana Police Department.
