Anyone, anytime, anywhere, any place. I think that pretty much sums up Messiah Wrestling. These guys wrestle as often as they can, taking on all challengers & backing down from no one. We saw a handful of Falcons close out some outstanding careers, as 5 of the returning 10 Regional III place-winners return for action in '26-'27.
Two-time NCAA D3 qualifier Zach Needles closed out his career with 94 career victories. A two-time Pete Willson Invitational place-winner with finishes of 3rd & 7th.
Austin Brass won 97 victories in his career. An NCAA D3 qualifier in 2025, he missed a second qualification by one match this year. 6th at Pete Willson as a junior. A three-time NWCA Academic All-American.
Noah Rice, 85 career wins & one match from D3 qualification himself. 3rd at the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC).
Caiden Heller, 74 career wins, with back-to-back 5th place showings at Regional III. 3rd at the MAC.
Clay Gainer, 85 career wins.

| 141 Jake Cunningham |
34 wins on the season, Jake Cunningham was 6th at Both Regional III & Pete Willson. 3rd at Petrofes.
 |
| 141 Shawn Quirk |
Anxious to see if the Falcons might move some weights around for the simple fact that I think they're better with Shawn Quirk in the lineup, than they are without. A Messiah Invite runner-up, he was one match from D3 Qualification in 2025.
 |
| 149 Levi Snyder |
7th at Regional III, Levi Snyder won 22 matches. A Ken Ober runner-up, he was 3rd at MAC.
 |
| 149 Dalton Monger |
Again, more reason to think the weights will look different in '26-'27. 33 wins on the season, Dalton Monger heads into the new year looking to become a three-time Pete Willson Invitational place-winner. 6th-3rd-5th, thus far. A Racich Rumbel champion, he was 3rd at Petrofes.
 |
| 165 Keegan DeMarest |
51-2 on the year. Just blows my mind that he wrestled that many matches, let alone won over 50 of them in a single season. He has but one thing to figure out this season & that is UW-La Crosse's Tanner Gerber. Of those 51 wins, 2 were via decision. The other 49? Majors, techs and falls. A Regional III champ, he was 3rd in the D3 nation. 5th & 2nd thus far at Pete Wilson, this guy is collecting gold like a leprechaun. Titles at Messiah, Racich Rumble, Petrofes & MAC.

| 197 Tucker Seidel |
40 wins on the year, Tucker Seidel was 5th at Regional III. 8th at Pete Willson & 3rd at Messiah, champ of both Racich Rumble & Petrofes.
