AT LARGE: Wild Card Candidates for 2025 NCAA DI's = 184 lbs

 184 lbs actually has quite a few in contention for the five At-Large/Wildcard bids that the NCAA DI will soon be handing out, but I have narrowed it down to six wrestlers I think are in the best position to receive them.  Of course four will & two won't.

#10
Colton Hawks
Missouri 
A two-time NCAA DI qualifier, Colton Hawks was one match shy of NCAAA DI qualification last year. 

#18
Ryder Rogotzke
Ohio State

An illegal & dangerous move, that many believe was done purposefully, Ryder Rogotzke is perhaps the mosted disliked wrestler in NCAA Division I wrestling today.  Regardless of how fans may feel about him, he's still one of the top candidates at the moment to receive a wildcard.  An NCAA DI qualifier last year, owns a 56 second fall over D.J. Washington. 

#21
T.J. Stewart
Virginia Tech

7th in the nation a year ago, '24-'25 hasn't been anywhere near as good of a season for the Hokie as many were hoping it'd be.  Nonetheless, he has still wrestled well enough to where he's a strong candidate for NCAA DI qualification through the At Large/Wildcard system.  Was 5th at the Southern Scuffle. 

#25
Dennis Robin
West Virginia

An NCAA DI qualifier in 2022, a 7th place finish at CKLV is great testimony for Dennis Robin, as is an 11-5 decision over D.J. Parker. 

#26
Jaden Bullock
Michigan

The Wolverine was an NCAA DI qualifier last year & became a two-time CKLV place-winner this year.  Owns 6th & 8th place finishes out in Vegas. 

#28
Colin Fegley
Lock Haven

The Bald Eagle carries a 21-10 record, with a 4-2 victory over Shane Cartegena-Walsh.
