For the 21 years noted, there were eight (8) #1 seeds that failed to place. In addition to the answers to the original questions below, here's a few other snippets;

-- Four weight classes saw EVERY #1 seed as an All-American (125, 133, 141, 285), or the lightest three weights and the heaviest weight.
-- 285 saw 14 (the most in any weight class) of the 21 #1 seeds win titles. The next two were 13 each (149 & 174)
-- 197 saw 7 (the least) of the 21 #1 seeds win titles. Next was 125 (8).

I’m sorry if I messed this up. It was interesting enough to me that I spent over an hour researching it. I guess that was cheating though.

P.S. note what seeding everyone did. Only 1-seed to not place since seeding everyone mff’d out of the tourney.

Reggie White (2001, 149)

Reggie White had one hell of a cut to get to 149. Must have been OKST.
