One of the growing trends in college athletics has been the proliferation of giving a verbal commitment (or signing) to one school and having a change of heart before signing with another. We tracked this phenomenon with the Class of 2025 and at the beginning of January noted that 18 members of the Big Board had flipped commitments. As of late September, the Class of 2026 already has 11 who have flipped and committed to a second school, while two others are expected to officially flip, at some point.
Remember, everyone has reasons for flipping. We’re not making judgement, just pointing out trends.
Below are the wrestlers currently on the Big Board who have flipped from the Class of 2026.
