2025-26 NCAA DI Wrestling Rankings

165 - Mitchell Mesenbrink

Hunter Garvin and Dylan Gilcher have been removed from the rankings after it was announced they’ll be out for the year with an injury.

Marcus Espinoza-Owens drops a spot after losing to Wyoming’s Sloan Swan. That was Espinoza-Owens first unranked loss on the year and his wins over Brendon Abdon and Ryan Burgos are quality enough to hold him in the top 33. There’s also a lack of wrestlers at 165 pounds who hold a ranked win and that have minimal unranked losses. 

Ryan Burgos and Peyten Kellar slide into the final two spots with the openings left by Garvin’s and Gilcher’s departures.
