2025-26 NCAA DI Wrestling Rankings

149 - Shayne Van Ness

Jaxon Joy drops to #4 after losing to Koy Buesgens. Buesgens' previous losses to Ethan Stiles and Collin Gaj keep him from rising to the #2 spot. It’s also worth noting that Caleb Tyus is currently undefeated this year (outside of a loss to Bo Bassett) and has significant victories over Ethan Stiles and Casey Swiderski. 

Despite losing to Caleb Rathjen, Joseph Zargo holds at the #12 spot based on his wins over Ryder Block, Lachlan McNeil, and Ethan Stiles. Rathjen moves up to #16 but is kept from rising higher because of his loss on the year to Max Petersen.

David Evans moves to #15 after defeating Chance Lamer. 

Eligh Rivera drops to #23 after his loss to unranked Andrew Clark. Rivera’s wins over Lachlan McNeil and Jacob Frost keep him from falling further. Clark is kept from entering the rankings due to losses to Dylan Layton, Andre Gonzales, Anderson Heap, and Kaemen Smith.

Drew Roberts drops to #27 after losing to Dylan Layton. Roberts’ win over Ryder Block keeps him from falling further. Layton moves into the rankings at #33 but is kept from rising higher because of losses to Wynton Denkins, Carson DesRosier, Gavin Brown, and Clayton Jones.
