2025-26 NCAA DI Wrestling Rankings

165 - Mitchell Mesenbrink

Nicco Ruiz moves to #10 after defeating #11 Max Brignola. Along with the Brignola win, Ruiz also defeated #13 Connor Euton this year. Those two results warrant the jump for Ruiz. 

Maxx Mayfield re-enters the rankings at #12 after defeating #13 Connor Euton. Mayfield was injured in early January and was briefly removed from the rankings due to inactivity. 

Bryce Hepner drops to #18 after losing to EJ Parco. Hepner’s win over Ryder Downey keeps him from falling further. Parco moves into the rankings at #26 with the win over Hepner. Parco’s early-season losses to Chris Crawford, Brett Smith, and Boeden Greenley keep him from entering the rankings higher. 

We also chose to remove Anthony Ferrari from the rankings due to inactivity. Ferrari hasn’t wrestled a match since January 17th and only has 9 total matches on the year.
