| Christian Davis Lander |
Only a sophomore, Christian Davis went 34-6 on the year, winning the Super Region II, taking runner-up honors at the Midwest Classic & finishing 3rd in the D2 nation.
 |
| James Joplin Lander |
With as good as Christian Davis did last year & with the fact that he'll probably start off '25-'26 ranked #1, it's surreal to think that his toughest competition may very well be in his own room. James Joplin, a two-time NCAA D2 All-American with finishes of 4th & 3rd, returns to the lineup this season & I believe he'll also be going 133 lbs. A career record of 63-9. Very anxious to see how this wrestle-off turns out.

| Central Oklahoma |
NCAA DII finalist Peter Rolle now out of eligibility, it'll be interesting to see who steps up & becomes the varsity starter for the Bronchos this season. They have three very good candidates looking for the job.

Eli Kirk also owns a fall over Evan Binder (4:00) & he owns an 11-2 major decision over All-American James Wright.
