2025-26 NCAA DI Wrestling Rankings

197 - Josh Barr

These rankings are coming out insanely early, so we’re skipping some steps that we will do later for the 'preseason rankings' in September. 

Only 24 wrestlers score advancement and/or placement points at the NCAA Championships, so we are only ranking out to 24 - the next nine wrestlers will come later.

Additionally, we’ve only taken out wrestlers that we know have exhausted their eligibility or have made public statements saying they are finished with their collegiate careers. Wrestlers with any outstanding questions whatsoever as to whether they will return to collegiate action have been left in the rankings. 

We’re also only putting in a few wrestlers coming back from injury or redshirts. Wrestlers' grades have been updated via ‘find + replace’ on our spreadsheets. It was a quick and dirty method and will be subject to numerous corrections and updates. Speaking of, if you have any information to share, please don’t hesitate to do so!

If you have any questions, we welcome and encourage your feedback. Hit up Jon Kozak (email: Jonathan.Kozak@flosports.tv; X: @KozakJon) and JD Rader (email: jd.rader@flosports.tv; X: @rader_jd).
