Fantasy College Wrestling - 2025 Season Top 20 (141 lbs)

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

As for us in 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
 

141 Top-20

Notes:

Jesse Mendez rode a one loss record into being the third straight wrestler to have 99 Fpts on the season, and the first #1 wrestler at a weight that was also a national champion this year. Mendez also posted the second best PPM in the weight with 4.1 in 24 matches. The highest was Andrew Alirez, who only wrestled 12 matches in the 2025 regular season.

In 2024, Mendez was #2 behind Wyatt Henson by 16 Fpts, but this year was able to reverse the script and finish 13 Fpts over Henson, who took second. Henson wrestled eight less matches in 2025 than he did in 2024, whereas Mendez wrestled the same (24 matches in both 2025 and 2024).

In 2020, Lock Haven 157 Johnathan Ross wrestled 57 regular season matches, 50 of them against D1 Competition. This year, the Jonathan Ross Award goes to Bryce Kresho who wrestled 45 matches in 2025, the most out of any in the Top-20 at any weight in 2025. The reason Kresho came in third is due to his 12 losses which accounted for -42 Fpts.

Another Penn wrestler makes the Top-10 with CJ Composto finishing one Fpt behind Kresho . Brock Hardy comes in at #5, who had three losses all within two weeks of the season. If one of those swings Hardy’s way, he overtakes Composto for 4th.

Beau Bartlett put in a perfect regular season, going 18-0 with a 50% bonus rate, but it wasn't enough to make it into the Top-5. It was, however, just good enough to beat out Vance VomBaur.

For the past four seasons, Joshua Koderhandt has been in the Top 20 in fantasy wrestling at his weight. This season he finished with 69 Fpts for 8th at 141, while in 2024 he took 5th, and in 2023 was 18th. In 2022 he wrestled at 133 and was 3rd. Cael Happel was 10th this year in Fpts at 141, 13th in 2024, and 15th in 2023, but just barely missed out in joining Koderhandt in the four-time Top 20 club as he was 22nd in 2022.

Despite only having 12 matches, Andrew Alirez still able to make the Top 20 in 2025, but fell just shy to making the Top-10. On the other end, Jacob Frost put in the second most regular season matches in the 141 Top 20, and coincidently, had the second lowest PPM as well (Anthony Ferraro taking the honor in both those stats). 

Rounding out the Top 20 was the only redshirt wrestler in Luke Stanich. Stanich only wrestled 13 matches, but finished with 48 Fpts. Stanich only wrestled in three events in 2025, and even though he lost by major to Mendez at the Clarion Open, he beat Sergio Lemley (MICH), CJ Composto, and Kai Orine (NCST) in his 11 victories. 

All eight All Americans made the 141 Top 20.

Who Missed The Cut:

First man out was Andre Gonzales of Ohio State with 46 Fpts, beating out Jacob Byra (NIU) and Joshua Saunders (COR) who both had 44 Fpts.

Other notables include Sergio Lemley (MICH) with 40 Fpts at #26, Eligh Rivera (PRIN) with 33 Fpts at #31, Danny Pucino (ILL) with 34 Fpts at #34, Mosha Schwartz (OU) with 29 Fpts at #37, and AJ Rallo (BELL) with 22 Fpts at #45.
