2024-25 NCAA DI Wrestling Rankings

197 - Jacob Cardenas

Jacob Cardenas takes over the top spot at 197 pounds after winning Big Tens with victories over Josh Barr and Stephen Buchanan.

Wyatt Voelker jumps up to #7 after winning Big 12s with victories over Luke Surber and Joey Novak. Voelker is kept from rising higher because of losses on the year to Novak, Zach Glazier, and Christian Carroll.

Along with the loss to Voelker, Novak lost to West Virginia's Ian Bush. That loss drops Novak to #13. Novak is kept from falling further because of wins on the year over Wyatt Voelker and Nick Stemmet.

Nick Stemmet moves up to #14 after defeating #15 Andy Smith.

There were several other upsets throughout the weight from conference weekend, so we'll limit our explanation to the top 15.
