psu 2026 lineup

[Truzzcat]

125: Lilledahl 
133: Davis
141: Blaze/Perry
149: SVN
157: Duke/Kasak/Facundo
165: MM
174: Haines
184: Barr/Cunningham
197: Mirasola
285: Mirasola/Transfer

every person in that lineup besides Haines would have one more year of eligibility at least for the following season. Next team race maybe 2030.

I think Cunnigham is 141/149.

184 would be Zack Ryder

And don't forget PJ Duke in the mix at 157/165

Asher sorry not Hayden but hayden grey shirted so asher may as well completely forgot about ryder.

There's a lot to be said for putting Nagao out there at 133 or 141, as both Davis and Blaze will have a RS available.  (I'm guessing Nagao takes a medical RS this year.)

Crazy that Joe Sealey isn't even cracking the conversation here, given how credentialed he is.  It'll be tough for him to break through the logjam at 157-74 for sure.  Maybe 174 when Haines graduates after next year, but I can see a bunch of other guys wanting that 174 spot by then too. Hopefully Sealey makes big jumps in the room to make it interesting, but if not, I wouldn't be shocked to see him in the portal.

For as good as PSU has been the past decade, they always have a couple holes in their lineup. This year there's barely any, but starting next year, I just don't see any unless the Mirasolas don't pan out.

If I had to guess I would go

125- LL

133- Davis

141- Blaze

149- SVN

157- Duke

165- MM

174- Haines

184- Barr

197- Mirasola

285- Mirasola

Ryder will be in the mix at 184. It is possible that Duke and Blaze redshirt but there really is no need with how good they are. If Lilledahl outgrows 125 then I would suspect that Nate Desmond would step in right away and Lilledahl would man 133, pushing Davis to the bench. If Duke redshirts then I would expect Sealy, Kasak and Facundo to battle for the 157 spot. The depth of this team is insane.

If Facundo doesn't contend for a title (at 157) this year, I think he may end of heading out.

To me, Sealy peaked a couple years ago and hasn't shown to be as much of a sure-fire as he was, with convincing losses to people he had beaten (or at least outperformed) prior.  I am thinking specifically Dee Lockett, btw.

It will be interesting to see.  I think 2026 could end up being this at the end:

125 - LL (Desmond to RS)
133 - Nagao (Davis to RS)
141 - Blaze (Davis to RS)
149 - SVN
157 - Kasak (Duke to RS, Sealy riding pine)
165 - Mesenrbink (Haines to RS, Sealy riding pine)
174 - Ryder (Haines to RS)
184 - Barr
197 - Mirasola
285 - Mirasola

I know it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense, but with Barr and Facundo being best friends since they could shoot a shot, I wouldn't be entirely surprised to see both Facundo and Barr head out to OSU, UofM or somewhere else together.  Insert Ryder at 184 and don't have Haines redshirt if that happens.

Is there a chance that if Steveson breaks a leg on landing the backflip following 25 title match he finds a loophole to another medical redshirt due to not being able to stand on the podium?  Call me crazy but tell me there isn't other crazy eligibility stuff allowed.

I do believe there is a backflip injury clause.
