Transfer Portal Update (4/23/2025)

It’s a new week, but still plenty of movement on the transfer portal front. As we move closer to the May 2nd deadline for normal portal entry, I’d expect a few more entries. The recent movement favors Oklahoma who added three transfers within the past couple of days. They now have four transfers. 

Another new addition to our transfer list is the wrestlers from non-DI schools who are set to move to DI programs. Most notable is three-time DIII champion Massoma Endene who stays in Iowa and moves from Wartburg to the Hawkeyes. Last year, Endene appeared ready to transfer to Wisconsin, but changed his mind and headed back to Wartburg. Now, he’s slated to take over the 197 lb weight class from 2025 NCAA champion Stephen Buchanan. 

Arizona State has hit the JUCO ranks hard and added a pair of NJCAA national champion teammates from Clackamas. There’s a chance that both could start in 2025-26. 

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.
