AT LARGE: Wild Card Candidates for 2025 NCAA DI's = 174 lbs

Here at 174 lbs, we only have four available spots & we have six wrestlers who will be fighting to get them.  

#5
Lorenzo Norman
Stanford

There are no guarantees in this sport, but you can be 99.99% positive that one of our wildcard bids is going to Lorenzo Norman.  Another member of the strong amount of youth in Palo Alto, the Cardinal made the CKLV finals & then a few weeks later won at Midlands title.  Who hasn't he defeated this season? 10-1 major over Aiden Riggins, a 12-7 decision over Danny Wask & a 10-6 decision over Garrett Thompson.  Also owns a 3-1 decision over Alex Cramer, an 8-6 decision over Luca Augustine & a 10-1 major over Jack McGill. 

#15
Myles Takats
Bucknell

22-7 on the season, Myles Takats was an NCAA DI qualifier last year.  Placing 3rd at the Midlands earlier this season, has many notable wins in '24-'25.  16-2 major over Alex Cramer, a 9-6 decision over M.J. Gaitan & a 4-1 s.v. over Luca Augustine.  4-1 s.v. over Dalton Harkins, owns an 11-1 major decision over Jack McGill & an 11-3 major over Simon Ruiz. 

#16
Nick Incontrera
Pennsylvania

Sorta ticked off that Nick Incontrera is even in this position to begin with.  Really shouldn't be, but nevertheless he is.  A three-time NCAA DI qualifier, the Quaker is 22-6 on the year.  Proved as far as I'm concerned to be one of the best of modern times to not win a Midlands title in his career going 2nd-3rd-2nd.  Owns a 6-0 decision over Garrett Thompson, an 11-2 major over Matty Singleton & an 8-5 decision over Danny Braunagel. 

#24
Jackson Turley
Rutgers

Jackson Turley is a three-time NCAA DI qualifier who earned 8th place All American honors in 2021. He was 5th at the Midlands earlier this year & owns a 4-1 decision over Danny Braunagel. 


#27
Brody Conley
West Virginia 

An NCAA DI qualifier last year, Brody Conley owns both a 14-2 major over M.J. Gaitan & an 8-5 decision over Jared Simma. 

#28
Lucas Uliano
Appalachian State

23-8 on the season, Lucas Uliano owns a technical fall, 19-3 over Lennox Wolak.
