Weekend Recruiting Campus Visit Round-Up (8/26/25)

The fall semester has begun at most collegiate campuses’ which means the on-campus recruiting efforts get turned up by wrestling coaches. Typically, big recruiting weekends coincide with a home football game to showcase recruits the most exciting atmosphere possible. Since last weekend was “Week 0” for college football, there were some games, but not a full slate. That’s about how I’d classify the recruiting weekend, as well.

Even though it wasn’t a full recruiting weekend nationwide, there were plenty of high-profile wrestlers on campus taking official visits.

One of the things that makes following recruiting fun is the cloak-and-dagger secrecy surrounding parts of the process. For every Bo Bassett who routinely keeps the public informed on recruiting decisions, there are plenty of others who don’t discuss it as much. Therefore, it can be difficult to follow which recruit is interested in which school and vice versa. I suppose it’s fun, but you’re left wanting more!

In order to try and help our fanbase feel more knowledgeable about the process, we’ll have a weekly column that recaps the recruiting weekend. Who has visited where? Maybe some background information on the recruits or the process from the school.

If we've missed a recruit or you'd like to provide info on future visits please let me know: earl@matscouts.com
