2025-2026 NCAA DII Preview = 174 lbs

 

Lawson Losee
Upper Iowa

27 wins on the season, Lawson Losee was 5th at the Midwest Classic, 2nd at Super Region V & 6th at the NCAA D2 championships. 

Dalton Gimbor
Kutztown

After finishing one match shy of D2 All-American honors as a freshman & sophomore, Dalton Gimbor finally broke through last season, & found a place on the award stand as he finished 8th.  Heading into his final season of competition he also looks to win his first Super Region I title having finished 3rd-2nd-2nd thus far.  He was also 7th at the Midwest Classic two seasons ago. 

Patrick Jackson
Gannon

A transfer of Lock Haven, Patrick Jackson won 20 matches in '24-'25, winning a Super Region I title & placing 6th at the Midwest Classic. 

Cole Hivnor
Gannon

As good as Patrick Jackson is, he'll have a fight on his hands for the varsity position as Cole Hivnor an NCAA DII qualifier in 2024 returns to the lineup. 

Max Kiel
Belmont Abbey

Max Kiel must have watched True Grit a handful of times as a kid, because despite the fact that he's had to deal with some injuries he keeps on persevering.  The Crusader has thus far finished 1st-1st-2nd in Super Region II. 

Hayden Pummel
Glenville State

37 wins on the season, a Super Region III title, a Midwest Classic title, & wins over both the 2024 NCAA D2 champion, as well as the eventual 2025 NCAA D2 champion. It was all falling into place beautifully for the Northern Illinois transfer, but then he suffered a season ending injury in the first round of the D2 championships.  Unfortunately that is the ugly side of our sport.  The good news is, he has one more season of eligibility.  

Jeremiah Halter
Drury

Jeremiah Halter heads into his junior season of competition having yet to post a winning season.  No bother because it doesn't matter how much you win, it matters when you win.  Halter proved that by taking a 3rd place finish at Super Region IV & qualifying for the NCAA D2 championships. 

Wyatt Reisz
Colorado School of Mines

22-6 on the year, Wyatt Reisz an Iowa native, heads into his final season of NCAA D2 competition having placed 5th & 3rd in Super Region VI, as well as 5th & 7th at the Midwest Classic. 

Cole Glazier
St Cloud State

The younger brother of Iowa/South Dakota State standout Zach Glazier, Cole Glazier heads into what I believe will be his redshirt sophomore season.  He was 8th in the D2 nation as a true-freshman in 2024. 

Andrew Vogelbacher
Millersville

A two-time NWCA Scholar All-American, Andrew Vogelbacher finished one match shy of NCAA DII qualification last season, 4th at Super Region I. 

Mason Gode
Minnesota State Moorhead

19 wins on the season for the North Dakota State transfer, who finished one match shy of D2 qualification, 4th at Super Region V. 

Vinny Scaramuzzino
Lake Erie

5th at Super Region III last season, Vinny Scaramuzzino was one match shy of placing at the Midwest Classic. 

Kane Kettering
Seton Hill

An NCAA D2 qualifier in 2024, Kane Kettering came up a bit short last season as he finished 6th at Super Region I.  16 wins on the year, one of them was over All-American Dalton Gimbor by a 10-5 decision. 

Logan Hoffman
UNC-Pembroke

14 wins for Logan Hoffman in '24-'25 who was 5th at Super Region II. 

Mike McCarthy
Emmanual

The Florida native heads into his junior season of competition having posted back-to-back 6th place finishes at Super Region II. 

Tom Dolo
Bluefield State

Tom Dolo was 6th at Super Region III

Coy Gunderson
Augustana (SD)

Coy Gunderson heads into his final season of eligibility having posted back-to-back 5th place finishes at Super Region V. 

Brady Schuh
UW-Parkside

Heading into his senior season, Brady Schuh has thus far posted Super Region V finishes of 4th & 6th. 

Solomon Arnds-Volcin
CSU-Pueblo

18 wins on the season, Solomon Arnds-Volcin has been 6th & 5th in Super Region VI. 

Dallas Porter
Adams State

Dallas Porter was 5th at Super Region VI. 


Bryce Dauphin
Central Oklahoma

14-3 on the season, Bryce Dauphin had a 10-4 decision over qualifier Jeremiah Halter. 

Robert Burke
East Stroudsburg

19 wins on the year for Robert Burke, one of which was an 8-2 decision over qualifier Jeremiah Halter.
