Dual meet season continues! And with dual meets come upsets! Here are all the upsets we could find from Week 15 of the 2025-26 NCAA D1 college wrestling season!

Week 14 Rankings | Upsets: Week 14 | Week 13 | Week 12 | Week 11 | Week 10 |Week 8 | Week 7 | Week 6 | Week 5 | Week 4| Week 3 | Week 2 | Week 1

Please note that there were no wrestling competitions in week 9 of the 2025-26 NCAA D1 college wrestling season, hence there is no upset article for week 9 of the 2025-26 NCAA D1 college wrestling season.

All the usual caveats apply. What look like upsets strictly according to the rankings in week 15 may not look like upsets by the end of the year, or even by week 16!

Major Upsets

197: Colton Hawks, Arizona State over #4 Justin Rademacher, Oregon State 6-4 TB

149: #33 Wynton Denkins, Virginia over #4 Collin Gaj, Virginia Tech 3-2

125: #28 Ayden Smith, Rutgers over #8 Jore Volk, Minnesota 7-2

157: #32 Tony White, Rutgers over #15 Charlie Millard, Minnesota 4-1 SV

149: Andrew Clark, Rutgers over #19 Drew Roberts, Minnesota 5-1

Upsets where the difference in rankings was 15 or more. Four of these notable upsets were from unranked wrestlers, providing last week with some 'any given Sunday' moments. 

Two of the major upsets were from the Indiana vs Wisconsin dual, and three were from the Rutgers vs Minnesota dual. In both instances, the individual upsets were instrumental in achieving the dual meet wins. 

Solid Upsets

174: #19 Myles Takats, Bucknell over #9 Danny Wask, Navy 8-8 TB RT

174: Cael Valencia, Arizona State over #25 Daschle Lamer, Oregon State 12-6

125: #30 Bridger Ricks, Utah Valley over #22 Ezekiel Witt, North Dakota State 4-2

125: Kael Lauridsen, Nebraska over #26 Dedrick Navarro, Northwestern 11-6

157: Bryce Lowery, Indiana over #27 Luke Mechler, Wisconsin Fall 1:56

285: Adam Ahrendsen, Northern Iowa over #27 Luke Rasmussen, South Dakota State 5-3

125: Ane'e Vigil, Arizona State over #27 Conrad Hendriksen, Oklahoma 4-1 SV

197: #26 Wyatt Ingham, Wisconsin over #20 Gabe Sollars, Indiana 10-7 SV

Upsets where the difference in rankings was between six and ten. Cael Valencia and Adam Ahrendsen's upset wins were crucial for Arizona State and Northern Iowa in achieving their respective dual meet wins. 

Barely Upsets

184: Shay Addison, Arizona State over #31 TJ McDonnell, Oregon State Fall 5:26

174: #30 Sergio Desiante, Virginia Tech over #29 Nick Hamilton, Virginia 15-4

133: Bryce Manera, Bucknell over #33 Brendan Ferretti, Navy Fall 1:05

Upsets where the difference in rankings was between one and three, so not much of an upset on paper. 

That's all the upsets we found in week 15. Let us know if we missed any!
