I've been saying this for quite some time now & I'm going to continue to say it. Bucknell has a good, tough under the radar team. A group of guys capable of opening up some eyes & showing the wrestling media they're worth paying attention to. Unfortunately, because there's only so much eligibility in one's career, they'll be down one man as they head into 2026-2027. Nevertheless, they bring back five tough wrestlers, all of which should contend heavily in the EIWA & NCAA DI.
2nd-2nd-2nd-3rd, I think it's fair to say that Dylan Chappell was one of the best in recent times, if not of all times to not win an EIWA title. 95 career wins, he had Midlands finishes of 3rd & 4th.

| 165 Noah Mulvaney |
The NWCA Scholar All-American heads into 2026-2027 now a two-time EIWA runner-up. Posting 27 wins on the year, he was also 5th at Midlands.
 |
| 174 Myles Takats |
Very strong season for Myles Takats last year, who won titles at both the Midlands (3rd in '25) & the EIWA. 23 wins on the season, including a 9-8 tiebreaker over All-American Danny Wask.
 |
| 184 Tyler Bienus |
An NCAA DI qualifier for the blue & orange, Tyler Bienus won 20 matches last season & took 6th at Midlands.
 |
| 197 Dillon Bechtold |
2nd & 1st thus far in the EIWA, Dillon Bechtold an NWCA Scholar All-American, won 16 matches last year.
 |
| HWT Lucas Lawler |
Unfortunately injuries got the best of Lucas Lawler last season, so we didn't get to see him in the post season. A 3rd place showing at the Midlands, however, gives us a good indication of the positive things to come.
