2025-26 NCAA DI Wrestling Rankings

149 - Shayne Van Ness

Casey Swiderski jumps to #2 after defeating Lachlan McNeil at the All-Star Classic.

Jaxon Joy moves to #10 for his win over Ethan Stiles at the Clarion Open. Along with the loss to Joy, Stiles also dropped a match to SIUE’s Caleb Tyus. Despite that loss, Stile has wins over Lachlan McNeil, Sammy Alvarez, Kyle Parco, Chance Lamer, Jordan Williams, and Caleb Rathjen. Those victories keep Stiles from dropping further.

Caleb Tyus rises to #18 for his victory over Ethan Stiles. Tyus didn’t wrestle at all last season but is a two-time NCAA Qualifier, and boasts several ranked wins in his college career. However, his losses two years ago to Thomas Deck, Drew Roberts, Corbyn Munson, and Kaden Cassidy keep him from climbing higher in the rankings at this moment.

Kade Brown drops a few spots after losing to Kaden Cassidy. Brown’s win over #7 Andrew Clark keeps him from falling further in the rankings. Cassidy moves up a few spots, but he doesn’t have a robust enough resume at this point to bring him all the way above Brown.

Wynton Denkins drops 9 spots after losing to Eugene Harney and Nate Lucier. Denkins’ wins last year over Gabe Willochell, Gavin Drexler, Kaden Keiser, and Richard Fedalen keep Denkins at the #27 spot. 

Kaden Keiser comes into the rankings at #28 for his win over #29 Drew Roberts.

Eugene Harney enters the rankings at #33 for his win over #27 Wynton Denkins. Harney also lost to Kaden Cassidy last week and has unranked losses last year to Layton Schneider and Kyle Schickel. Those results keep Harney from being ranked higher.
