2025-26 NCAA DI Wrestling Rankings

133 - Lucas Byrd

Marcus Blaze comes into the rankings at #12. Blaze will be a true freshman at Penn State next year and will compete at the U20 World Championships in August. Beyond that, Blaze is a U17 World Champion and a U20 World Bronze medalist. He also has had incredible success on the senior level making the national team at 57 kg in 2024 and 2025. Despite that success, Blaze has limited college results but notably defeated Matt Ramos but lost to Brayden Palmer. With those results, Blaze comes in at #12 in these rankings. That might seem low compared to expectations for Blaze, but these rankings are based on college results and don't take into consideration freestyle accolades or match results.
