2025-2026 NAIA Preview - 141 lbs

 


Jared Dinh
Cumberland

Thus far 5th-3rd-1st in the Mid-South Conference (MSC), Jared Dinh picked up NAIA All-American honors last season of 5th place.  He was also 4th at the prestigious Missouri Valley Invitational. 

Luke Jensen
Corban

In a weight class that was ruled by mostly seniors in '24-'25, there is a lot of opportunity for some new blood to make a name for itself in '25-'26.  Luke Jensen was one match shy of earning NAIA All American honors last season. 


Cole McKinley
Lourdes

Another wrestler who was finished one match shy of NAIA All American honors last season, Cole McKinley was a runner-up at the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC) & 4th at the Pepsi Patriot Open. 

Tristan Breemer
Providence

An NAIA qualifier for the Argos last season, Tristian Breemer was 5th at the Cascade Collegiate Conference (CCC). 

Channing Porter
Arizona Christian

Channing Porter was an NAIA qualifier for the Firestorm last season. 

Noah Parmelee
Northwestern (IA)

The Red Raider was 3rd in GPAC last season & one match shy of a top 8 finish at the Missouri Valley Invitational. 

Bryant Beane
Campbellsville

The Louisville, Kentucky native earned a 5th place finish at the MSC last season. 

Bo Davis
Corban

Another Corban wrestler who could stand out this season at 141 lbs is Bo Davis who took a 3rd place finish at the CCC. 

Devin Avedissian
Doane

The Temecula Valley, California native has thus far been 4th & 2nd in the Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC). 

Christian Lopez
Embry-Riddle

Christian Lopez enters his junior season of competition now a two-time NAIA qualifier. 

Eli Peyton
Cumberlands

The Patriot was 3rd in the MSC & took an 8th place finish at the Missouri Valley Invitational. 

Adam Stanley
Embry-Riddle

Collecting bronze medals at the Friends Falcon Invitational & at the Mile High Open, Adam Stanley was silver at the CCC. 


Donovan Parn
Missouri Valley

The Viking was 3rd in last year's Heart of America (HOA). 

Conner Kimbrough
Indiana Tech

The McDonough, Georgia native was a Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC) champion this past season. 

Drew Jones
Southeastern

Heading into his junior season, Drew Jones was 3rd in the AAC last season & one match shy of a medal at the Missouri Valley Invitational. 

Dru Wilson
Lourdes

Dru Wilson took 3rd in the WHAC last year. 

Garrett Pace
Reinhardt

Garrett Pace was one match shy of a top 8 finish at the Missouri Valley Invitational. 

Elijah Anthony
Indiana Tech

I believe that Elijah Anthony may have redshirted last season as he was 3rd at the Pepsi Patriot Open, and we didn't see much of him after that.  In year's prior, he has been a Missouri Valley Invitational place-winner (7th).
