| Cam Robinson Grand View |
What a year for the Viking, as Cam Robinson won titles at the Oppenheim Open, the Heart of America (HOA) & the NAIA national tournament.
| Jonathan Kervin Indiana Tech |
The two-time Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC) champion was an NAIA national champion in 2024, but took runner-up honors this past season. He'll be among those looking to knock Cam Robinson off his throne.
| Dylan Whitt Grand View |
It seems Grand View has multiple studs at each weight class & 165 lbs is no exception. 5th in the NAIA nation last season, Dylan Whitt has HOA finishes of 1st & 2nd. He's also been 1st-3rd-2nd in the prestigious Missouri Valley Invitational. A runner-up at the Friends Falcon Invite as well.
| Reese Jones Life |
Jones was 4th in the Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) & 8th in the NAIA nationals.
| Travis Waldner Montana State Northern |
The former North Idaho Cardinal finished off his time in the NJCAA just shy of All American honors & ironically enough he finished off his junior season in the NAIA the same way. 3rd in the Cascade Collegiate Conferecne (CCC), Waldner was 5th in the Missouri Valley Invitational.
| Nate Napolitano Reinhardt |
The Florida native was 5th in the AAC & 4th at the Pepsi Patriot Open a year ago.
| Bridger Hall Providence |
6th at last year's Missouri Valley Invitational, Bridger Hall has thus far been 5th-3rd-2nd in the CCC.
| Blaze Sumiye Providence |
Also skilled in the art of Judo, Blaze Sumiye was 4th in the CCC & one match shy of Missouri Valley Invitational place-winner status in '24-'25.
| Blaine Christo Morningside |
The Omaha, Nebraska native won the Great Plaines Athletic Conference (GPAC) title this past season.
| Juan Lopez Graceland |
The former CCCAA rep of Mt. San Antonio, Juan Lopez was 5th in the GPAC last season.
| Mike Ager Saint Mary |
The Tacoma, Washington native won the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference (KCAC) title last year.
| Weston Melvin Cumberlands |
Weston Melvin heads into his senior season of competition having posted back-to-back 3rd place finishes at the Mid-South Conference (MSC) the past two years. He was also 3rd at the prestigious Missouri Valley Invitational.
| Jastin Kubwimana Campbellsville |
Jastin Kubwimana won the Pepsi Patriot Open & finished 4th in the MSC last season.
| Ethan Gomez Cumberland |
A native of Florida, Ethan Gomez was 6th in the MSC a year ago.
| Jovon Mitchell Grand View |
It's a shame that the NAIA doesn't allow three wrestlers per weight class to compete in the post-season, because even though we already have Cam Robinson & Dylan Whitt, Jovon Mitchell is one heck of a talent in his own right. We're looking at the winner of last year's Missouri Valley Invitational. It'll never cease to amaze me how much top talent GVU has.
| William Schwertscharf Simpson (CA) |
Starting his collegiate career off in the CCCAA competing for Modesto Community College, William Schwertscharf took 7th place honors at last year's Missouri Valley Invitational.
| Brendan Parks Missouri Valley |
Brendan Parks was one match shy of earning Missouri Valley Invitational placement honors last season.
