Fantasy College Wrestling - 2025 Season Top 20 (125 lbs)

As the school year winds down to a close, the end of year awards and accolades start getting passed out for a season well-done. 

For us at Fantasy D1 Wrestling, the data has been processed, the charts have been reviewed, and the evaluations are complete. The breakdown of the Top Fantasy Wrestlers of the 2025 season is here to help you start your 2025 season research.  

Just like in the past few years, some names are going to be expected, while a lot more may not be. That's the beauty of Fantasy Wrestling, where any wrestler can be the star of the weekend and win the dual for you.

To compile these lists, we used standard WrestleStat Fantasy College Wrestling Data & Scoring. Just a reminder of how points were tallied in WrestleStat leagues:

1) The scoring used was standard team scoring across all competitions (+3 for a win by decision, -4 for a loss by major, etc)

2) Scoring only counted against D1 competition

3) Wins via forfeits (FFT) would count as +6 towards a wrestler's point total

4) Wins or losses by medical forfeit (MFF) did not count as + or - towards a wrestler's point total

5) Points were only accumulated during the regular season

125 Top 20

Notes:

In back-to-back years, Matt Ramos retains the title of Top Fantasy Wrestler of 125 with the best PPM of the 2025 lot. In fact, in the past three seasons, Ramos finished in Fantasy as the #1, #1, and #2 wrestler at 125, respectively. More on Ramos in another article.

With the most matches of any 125-pounder in the Top 20, Penn’s Max Gallagher was able to use his 32 matches wrestled to overcome his seven losses (-22 Fpts). Eventual National Champion Vincent Robinson, who beat Gallagher by major, comes in at 3rd for the year.

Tying Robinson in points at 71 was Brendan McCrone, but with a worse PPM slots in at #4. Another tie, in points, came in at the 8/9th place between Luke Lilledahl and Sheldon Seymour with 63 Fpts. Seymour had three more matches than Lightning Luke, but Lilledahl won the eighth spot with a 3.5 PPM compared to Seymour’s 3.

All American, and possibly wrestling’s first Youtube star, Stevo Poulin beats out Campbell’s Cooper Shore on PPM as well. Shore took over starting duties in January and February only for Anthony Molton (who finished at #25 with 36 Fpts) to come back for the postseason.

National finalist Troy Spratley follows up his 2024 season as the #13 Fantasy Wrestler at 125 with being… the #13 Fantasy Wrestler at 125 for the 2025 season. Wrestling three fewer matches though, he bested his 2024 self by four Fpts.

With the least amount of matches wrestled in the 125 Top-20, Marc-Anthony McGowan finished the regular season with 15 matches for 51 Fpts. That was enough to finish 17th over eventual AA Caleb Smith and National Qualifier Spencer Moore.

Rounding out the Top 20 was the only other non-starter, and new transfer to West Virginia, Louie Gill. 

All eight of the 125 All-Americans made the Top 20.

Who Missed The Cut:

Richie Figueroa (ASU) was the first man out of the Top 20, missing the rank by two Fpts with his 16 regular season matches. He finished with 43 Fpts, tied with Indiana’s Blaine Frazier.

Despite missing a large chunk of the second semester, Anthony Molton (CAMP) finished with 36 Fpts and was #25. Had he wrestled the full regular season, he probably would have been at least #11, trading places with teammate Cooper Shore. As for another wrestler with only a handful of regular season matches, Greg Diakomihalis (COR) only wrestled 10 matches (all in November) but still amassed 34 Fpts to be the #28 Fantasy Wrestler at 125.

Other notables include Cooper Flynn (MINN) with 31 Fpts at #31, Beric Jordan (OU) with 28 Fpts at #35, Trever Anderson (UNI) with 24 Fpts at #39, and Jett Strickenberger (WVU) with 19 Fpts at #47.
