The Mountain Cats went 13-1 in duals last season, finishing 2nd at the Midwest Classic & 3rd at Super Region I. It was a year full of a lot of ups & a few downs. 2026-2027 looks to be a season of many pros & many positives as UPJ returns a ton of talent.
My heart goes out to Trevon Gray. A career should never end the way his does. Life at times can be unfair. However, as I've had to do at other times as a wrestling aficionado, I have to remind myself that wrestling is a journey, not a destination. 6th is not at all where Gray wanted to finish, with an injury at Super Region I, but he was still a three-time Super Region I champion & no one can take that away from him. 7th & 4th in the D2 nation during his career, 94 career wins & he won this year's Midwest Classic.
Isaiah Vance also called it a career for the Mountain Cats & what an outstanding career he had. 99 career wins. 2nd-1st-2nd-3rd at Super Region I & 5th-2nd-8th in the D2 Nation. A rare four-time Midwest Classic place-winner with 4th-1st-3rd-2nd finishes.

| 133 Brady Baker |
15 wins on the season, Brady Baker earned NCAA D2 qualification with a 3rd place finish at Super Region I.
 |
| 141 Chad Ozias |
An NCAA D2 R12'er in 2025, Chad Ozias came up a bit short of being a place-winner at last year's Super Region I. He did however place 6th at the prestigious Midwest Classic & should bounce back strong this season.

| 149 Matt Sarbo |
The former Iowa Central Triton NJCAA champion has been a fantastic asset for the Mountain Cats thus far. 28-3 on the season he was 2nd at both Super Region I & in the D2 nation. 3rd at the Midwest Classic.
 |
| 157 Cooper Warshel |
An NCAA D2 qualifier as a freshman in 2024, Cooper Warshel was a Super Region I champion. Since that time, he's placed 4th & 6th at Super Region I. He'll look to earn qualification #2 this season as a senior.

| 165 Trent Hoover |
24 wins on the year, Trent Hoover earned NCAA D2 qualification with a 3rd place showing at Super Region I
 |
| 174 Tyler Morrison |
28-5 last year as a freshman. 2nd at Super Region I, 4th in the D2 nation & 7th at the Midwest Classic.
 |
| 184 Noah Gnibus |
An NCAA D2 qualifier in 2025, Noah Gnibus heads into '26-'27 a three-time Super Region I place-winner with 4th-2nd-5th place finishes. A match shy of being a Midwest Classic Place-winner last season.
