Transfer Portal Update (7/25/2025)

It’s been a while since we have given any portal updates and with some movement on the head coaching front, it seemed like the appropriate time for another. 

With Scotti Sentes leaving Campbell, it re-opened the portal for Camel wrestlers looking to transfer. Two notable Campbell wrestlers are on the move and are headed north to the University of Virginia. NCAA qualifiers Wynton Denkins and Dom Baker have recently announced that they are moving on to Virginia. Both could end up starting immediately for the Cavaliers, Denkins at 149 lbs and Baker at 174 lbs (though Baker does have a redshirt available). 

We also had to remove a prominent name from the transfer list as 2025 All-American Sammy Alvarez is not headed to Iowa. Looking at his career, it was difficult to interpret how he would have another year of eligibility. 

Another name we’ve removed is Cody Chittum. Initially, Chittum indicated that he would transfer to Ohio State from Iowa State. Later this offseason, there were rumors that he would head back to his home state to wrestle for Chattanooga. The Mocs athletic department put out a release centered around their five transfers for this offseason and Chittum was not among that list. We’ll re-add him once there’s more concrete information regarding his landing spot. 

We’ve also added a handful of transfers for Kent State. Coach Josh Moore had brought a handful of wrestlers from his last stop at Cleveland State University. 

Remember, there are still avenues for a wrestler to enter the transfer portal at this time. Any additional entries will be tied to a coaching change or perhaps from a graduate student. 

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.
