Trey Munoz (184) capped the 2023-24 season with his third-place finish at the 2024 NCAAs after his individual Pac-12 championship. It not only was Munoz's second consecutive top-six finish but also marked the second student-athlete in the Pendleton era to finish top-four at the NCAAs. Gill Coliseum saw a wrestling-crowd record (8,540) against top-ranked Penn State to open the home slate for 2024-25.

In his final season in Tempe, he earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament following a third place finish at the Pac-12 Championships and a personal-best nine wins in the regular season. He won six consecutive matches to take fifth place in the U23 Nationals in Omaha, Nebraska.
In his final two seasons in Arizona, he helped the Sun Devils to back-to-back Pac-12 crowns.
