2024-25 NCAA DI Wrestling Rankings
157 - Tyler Kasak
Tyler Kasak takes over the #1 spot after defeating former #1 Jacori Teemer. We chose to move Kasak over Shapiro because they both had similar seasons last year and Kasak has had a better season this year with ranked wins over Teemer, #4 Antrell Taylor, #22 Matt Bianchi, #27 Conner Harer, #29 James Conway, and Alex Facundo. Shapiro missed a large portion of the season with an injury and only has wins over #14 Ed Scott, #33 Jimmy Harrington, and #29 James Conway.
It's also worth noting that though Teemer and Shapiro never wrestled last season, Teemer had a better overall year finishing second at the NCAA Tournament compared to Shapiro's 3rd place finish. Beyond that, Teemer was notably 4-0 against Daniel Cardenas. Shapiro's record against Cardenas last season was 1-2. Because of that, Teemer stays ahead of Shapiro.
Oregon State’s CJ Hamblin re-enters the rankings at #25 after his win over Grigor Cholakyan.
Colton Washleski jumps into the rankings at #30 for his win over #31 DJ McGee.
