The Trojans return four of their six Super Region II place-winners from last season, plus two NCAA D2 qualifiers from years' past
I thought it was so cool the way Jack MacKiernan was able to give one last finger salute to American International, by telling the school through his actions what he thought of them discontinuing the wrestling program. Finishing 3rd at Super Region II, he became a two-time NCAA D2 qualifier overall, ending his career with 88 victories.
Mount Olive also says goodbye to Slade Calhoun, who finished off his career one match shy of D2 qualification.

| 141 Ben Hernandez |
11 wins on the year, Ben Hernandez heads into his junior season of competition with 5th & 6th place finishes thus far in Super Region II. He was one match shy of being top 8 at the Midwest Classic.
 |
| 149 Hunter Newell |
Another 11 match winner for the Trojans, Hunter Newell took 6th at Super Region II
 |
| 157 Brent Nicolosi |
Only a junior, and already a two-time Super Region II finalist, who won a title this past season. Brent Nicolosi finished 8th in the D2 nation for the green & white.
 |
| 174 Cole Hivnor |
An NCAA D2 qualifier in 2024, Cole Hivnor came up a little short of a top 6 showing at Super Region II last year. He'll look to redeem himself in '26-'27.
 |
| 184 Calan Staub |
Fresh off a redshirt, two-time NCAA D2 qualifier Calan Staub returns to the Trojan lineup.
 |
| 197 Raife Smart |
Like teammate Ben Hernandez, Raife Smart heads into his junior season with 5th & 6th place finishes at Super Region II
