| Joey Petrella Baldwin Wallace |
What a season for Joey Petrella in '24-'25. 27-3 on the year, titles won at both John Summa & Regional 4 as he finished 4th in the D3 nation. He was also an NWCA Scholar All-American.

| Dylan Harr Johnson & Wales |
Five years removed from the nightmare that was COVID-19, you'd think I'd finally have it together on who has eligibility left & who does not. I don't. I think Dylan Harr may be done with his collegiate wrestling career, but he might also have a season left. To error on the side of caution, what I can tell you is that he's a three-time NCAA D3 All-American. Finishes of 4th-5th-5th & he's 2nd-2nd-1st at Regionals. That's a hell of a good resume, and he may be adding more to it this year.
*UPDATE* - Harr's collegiate career is over.
 |
| Ian Pepple UW-Eau Claire |
37 wins on the season and 25 of those 37 wins came via fall. 3rd at Regional 7 & 6th in the D3 nation, Ian Pepple was also 5th at Pete Willson.
 |
| Pilo Perez Dubuque |
Much like Dylan Harr, I'm not 100% positive if Pilo Perez will be back in action this season or not. He was listed as a 5th year senior last year, but he also sat out all of '23-'24. So what does that mean? What I can tell you is that he finished 2nd at Regional 6 last year & he finished one match shy of earning D3 All American honors.
 |
| D.J. Henry TCNJ |
25 wins on the season, the future UFC competitor won a title at Regional 3 & finished one match shy of D3 All American honors.
 |
| Matt Kelly Rhode Island College |
22-5 on the year, Matt Kelly won a Rhode Island College Open & took 2nd at Regional 1. Although he did not place at Pete Willson this season, he was 4th there two years ago.
 |
| Carson LiCastri SUNY-Oneonta |
Carson LiCastri heads into his final season of competition having posted a 34-7 record last year, finishing 3rd at Regional 2. A two-time SUNY-AC runner-up, he was also 2nd at the Rhode Island College Open.
 |
| Gunnar Garriques Chicago |
5th-5th-3rd at Regionals thus far, Gunnar Garriques heads into '25-'26 looking to become a four-time Regional place-winner & a two-time NCAA D3 qualifier. A three-time NWCA Scholar All-American, Garriques is a two-time University Athletic Association (UAA) champion & he was 6th at Pete Willson last year.

 |
| Casey Aikman North Central |

A 18-10 major over All-American Ian Pepple, he also defeated D3 R12'er D.J. Henry 8-3. Aikman finished one match shy of D3 qualification himself, 4th at Regional 5.

 |
| Josh Negron Andrew Filip Castleton |
A lot of great wrestle-offs in D3 wrestling & here at 197 will be a good one at Castleton. Josh Negron was 27-6 on the year last year, he won the Ithaca Invitational. Filip was 3rd.
 |
| Ethan Winkelman Augsburg |
Behind Parker Venz last season, Ethan Winkelman was one of the best backups in D3 last season. 22-2 on the year, he was 2nd at the North Central Invite & he nearly majored All American Ian Pepple 17-3.
 |
| Kasey Gish UW-La Crosse |
Behind Ben Kawczynski, I can say the same for Kasey Gish that I just said about Ethan Winkelman. We're talking about a super tough backup that could end up having a standout '25-'26. A Pete Willson champ two seasons ago, last year he had a 9-8 win over D3 R12'er D.J. Henry.
