Transfer Portal Update (3/25/2025)

With the conclusion of the NCAA wrestling tournament, you’d think that it means it’s the offseason for college wrestling and all focus should turn to the Olympic styles, right? Maybe in the past, but in a new era of collegiate athletics, once the final whistle has blown on a particular postseason, it means it’s time to turn your attention to the transfer portal. 

Love it or hate it, it’s the reality. Student-athletes have the ability to transfer much more freely than past generations. There was lots of movement last “offseason” and I don’t foresee that changing this year. 

It’s only been a few days since the NCAA Tournament finished so there haven’t been many transfers announced, however, the portal numbers are starting to grow. In Philly, we noticed a few prominent names in the portal, so it seemed like the perfect time to start our “Portal Watch.” 

The first list of wrestlers we’ve listed have already publicly committed to a new transfer destination. That new school is listed first, along with their projected weight, followed by their former school. 

Below them are notable wrestlers that have gone into the transfer portal. It is not a comprehensive list. 

Expect many updates to this feature in the coming weeks and months.
