2025-26 NCAA DI Wrestling Rankings

197 - Rocky Elam

We removed Josh Barr from the rankings this week due to inactivity. Barr hasn’t wrestled since the 2025 NCAA Tournament, and we typically use the CKLV as the cutoff for inactive wrestlers. Should Barr compete this year, he’ll re-enter the rankings then. With Barr out, Connor Mirasola comes into the rankings at #10 since Mirasola’s best win of his career is over #11 Deanthony Parker. 

Mac Stout drops to #8 after losing to Dillon Bechtold. Bechtold moves up a spot but is kept from climbing higher because of a loss on the year to Deanthony Parker. 

Camden McDanel drops to #15 after losing to #14 Evan Bates.

Angelo Posado comes in at the #20 spot for his performance at the CKLV where he placed 5th with Rune Lawrence, Zayne Lehman, Alex Smith, Cole Jackson, and Spencer Mooberry.

Several other upsets resulted from the action that went down mostly at the CKLV, Cougar Clash, and Patriot Open. You  can see the results for those tournaments here: CKLV | Cougar Clash | Patriot Open
