2025 ACC Championships Preview

The ACC Championships kick off Sunday morning in Durham, with Duke serving as the host for the first time since the 1990’s. With three teams sharing the ACC dual title, we know there will be a tightly-contested team race. NC State has held the title for the past six years and is looking to add another trophy to the case. Virginia Tech will attempt to knock them off again, as they did in dual two weeks ago to earn their share of the dual title. North Carolina was the third team to earn a share of the dual title and they will look to their senior leaders to make a push toward an ACC title. The depth of the ACC will be on display with 38 automatic qualifying bids up for grabs; five of the seven teams have a top-seeded wrestler in the brackets and every team has multiple wrestlers in contention for those slots. I expect a very close team race and momentum could play a huge role, as will every upset along the way. The tournament will be broadcast from the opening whistle on ESPN/ACCNetwork with every match shown. 

125 4 Qualifiers

Even though we are missing starters at this weight from Stanford and Duke, this may be one of the most competitive weights in the tournament. There are three guys ranked in the top 10 in Eddie Ventresca, Vince Robinson, and Spencer Moore who had round-robin wins over each other in duals. Ventresca over Robinson, Robinson over Moore, Moore over Ventresca. But the four and five seeds here could make some noise. This bracket will shape up oddly with only 5 wrestlers; the opening round match will feature Keyveon Roller from UVA and Nick Babin from Pitt.
