2025-26 NCAA DI Wrestling Rankings

197 - Josh Barr

Cody Merrill lost to Sonny Sasso but holds at the #6 spot due to his overall resume on the year. Merrill’s only losses are to Sasso, Rocky Elam, and Massoma Endene. However, he has victories over Evan Bates, Deanthony Parker, Camden McDanel (two), Rune Lawrence, and Angelo Posada. Despite the loss, that resume of wins is stronger than anyone he’s ranked ahead of. 

Angelo Posada moves to #7 after defeating #8 Mac Stout. Posada’s only losses this year are to Josh Barr, Justin Rademacher, Bennett Berge, and Cody Merrill. Despite the Rademacher loss for Posada, Rademacher recently lost to Colton Hawks. Posada’s win over Stout, combined with Rademacher’s recent loss, gives Posada the ability to pass Rademacher. 

Hayden Walters drops to #24 after losing to Harvey Ludington and Wyatt Ingham. Wins over Kael Wisler and Dylan Connell keep Walters from falling further.
