Head coach Cael Sanderson has assembled a roster that combines proven champions with top-tier newcomers. 

Returning title contenders Luke Lilledahl (125lbs), Mitchell Mesenbrink (165lbs), and Levi Haines (174lbs) lead a group expected to stay on top of the national standings. 

All-Americans Shayne Van Ness (149lbs) and Braeden Davis (141lbs) add depth and consistency through the middleweights, while international standout Masanosuke Ono (133lbs) and No. 1 recruit Marcus Blaze (133lbs) strengthen the lower weights.

PJ Duke (157lbs) enters his freshman season fresh off a massive upset of Yianni Diakomihalis at Final X, to secure a spot on the US Wrestling Team that traveled to Croatia a few months ago. 

Here’s the full Penn State Wrestling 2025–26 roster.
