In early January, we released an article entitled “Recruiting in 2024-25: The Year of the Flip.” At that point in time, 18 of the top 200 wrestlers from the Class of 2025 had flipped their commitment from one school to another. On Sunday night, the #2 overall recruit in the Class of 2026, Bo Bassett, turned the wrestling world upside down (or primarily the social media world) when he decommitted from Iowa. While Bassett hasn’t actually flipped to another school, it will be forthcoming. Once that happens, he’ll be the seventh Big Board wrestler from the Class of 2026 and the second top-three overall recruit to do so. As we’re still a few days away from July and four months away from signing day, there will be at least five wrestlers from the Class of 2026 who have flipped commitments. Based on recent history and the way college athletics is trending, I’d imagine that list will grow exponentially within the next year. Below is our list of wrestlers from the Class of 2026 who have already flipped commitments. For comparison’s sake, underneath that is a list of wrestlers from the top 50 in the Class of 2025 who flipped at one point or another. 2026 #2 Bo Bassett (Iowa to ???) #3 Jayden James (Virginia Tech to Penn State) #11 Antonio Mills (NC State to Missouri) #25 Tyler Dekraker (Ohio State to Minnesota) #37 Jonathan Rocha (Purdue to Virginia Tech) #119 Trey Wagner (Navy to Air Force) #172 Jake Knight (Oklahoma to ???) 2025 #4 Landon Robideau (Minnesota to Oklahoma State) #5 Sergio Vega (Cornell to Oklahoma State) #9 Jude Correa (Michigan to Cornell) #10 Harvey Ludington (Arizona State to Iowa) #20 Nick Sahakian (Arizona State to Michigan) #24 Cody Routledge (Nebraska to Oklahoma State) #32 Eren Sement (Penn to Michigan) #36 Jake Hockaday (Oklahoma to Nebraska) #40 Devon Magro (Brown to Rutgers) #41 Vince Bouzakis (Ohio State to Pittsburgh) #50 Austin Johnson (Oklahoma to Oklahoma State)
