NCAA Wrestling 2026

They really need to implement the step out rule in folk style. The officials won't call stalling, then when they do it is inexplicable

Holy smokes, how good is this freshmen class!? Duke beat a 4x d1 champ to make the world team and then loses to another freshman? 133: all semi finalist are freshmen and the returning champ got majored in the quarters. Insane
 
Forrest at 133 isn't even a true freshman, he's an early enrolled, technically he could be wrestling in the High School state championship!

This is true, but the kid is 19 yrs old. I'm sure there are quite a few 19yr olds wrestling at NCAAs. For perspective, Levi is 21 yrs old and a senior.
 
Ah, so the old "hockey" red shirt in jr high that has found its way into wrestling.

Yea, thats been going on for awhile here in PA. Covid really helped that along too, as some parents just said "NO" to the mask or online learning.

I wonder what the age difference is between Sergio Vega (freshman) and Brock Hardy (6th year senior).
 
Daton was eligible for Social Security his last season!!

SVN stalking? Fake news.

PJ got F’d. Pretty bad

I’m glad they got it right w Davino vs Blaze. The right kid won that match.

I still might take Trumble over Yonger
 
Duke got the shaft.

This and honestly not sure how they could have fixed it. In that situation if there is even any doubt the refs need to let it to continue to play out. Duke had him locked up in a cradle and at the very least would have proved without a doubt that he had control. The refs dictated the end of that match. Duke had every opportunity to shut the door, but I believe he was mentally defeated after that call was reversed. I also haven’t seen PSU coaches as hot after a match in a very long time.

On another note when the refs didn’t award Davino that take down after review I was left scratching my head. Some of these close ones I really question if anyone knows what a take down is any more and thankfully the right kid won.

This issue had somewhat of a starting point in 2012 finals. Jordan Oliver vs Logan Steiber.
Rules have been tweaked but over time you get guys like Hardy, Vega or the Larkins who seem to be terribly out of position but somehow come out on top. So what is "control"? Then throw in "reaction time" and it's a cluster even with a good official.
