2025-26 NCAA DI Wrestling Rankings

P4P - Mitchell Mesenbrink

Sergio Vega rises to #3 after defeating former #2 Jesse Mendez to win the NCAA title at 141 pounds.

Jax Forrest makes a jump to #6 after finishing off his undefeated season with an NCAA title.

Isaac Trumble moves to #7 after winning the heavyweight title while completing the undefeated season. 

Max McEnelly comes in at #8, just above #9 Luke Lilledahl. McEnelly did have two losses on the year, but he won a much tougher weight class than Lilledahl. It’s also worth noting that Lilledahl lost to teammate Nate Desmond this season.

Landon Robideau enters the pound-for-pound at #10 after winning 157. Robideau’s losses to Kaleb Larkin and Antrell Taylor keep him from entering the p4p higher.

Despite losing in the finals, Shayne Van Ness holds at #11 based on his phenomenal season, where he was 25-1 with a 74% bonus rate. 

Aden Valencia comes into the rankings at #19, but his losses on the year to Shayne Van Ness, Collin Gaj (twice), Koy Buesgens, Kaleb Larkin, Jacob Frost, and David Evans keep Valencia from entering the p4p higher.
