Multiple time All-American, Lou Deprez has been granted a medical redshirt - allowing him one last year to compete. He officially makes his return for the second half of the season. He competed in the US Open Freestyle Nationals, placing eighth. Not a bad debut, after being sidelined for nearly a year.

DI college rankings have been updated! It's been a recurring theme, and frankly, it will probably continue throughout the collegiate season, but 125 lbs was a mess! The previous #1 (Jakob Camacho) was beaten three times at the Collegiate Duals. #3 Richie Figueroa suffered a loss in his first outing of the season. CKLV champion #4 Nico Provo was defeated by Cooper Flynn, who was pulled out of Olympic redshirt. #5 Brett Ungar was beaten by a then-unranked opponent at Collegiate Duals. Those results set the stage for Anthony Noto to move back into the #1 slot. Noto was one of the wrestlers who defeated Jakob Camacho at the Collegiate Duals. He also doesn't have an official loss (though he fell to Matt Ramos at the All-Star Classic). A clean record and some solid wins propelled Noah Surtin (Volk, Mendez, Owens, Hendriksen) into the second spot. In news at other weights, veteran All-Americans Austin Gomez and Louie DePrez announced their respective returns last week and have been inserted. From a tournament ranking standpoint, Little Rock cracks the top-30 for the first time. That was largely based around the fact that true freshman Nasir Bailey announced himself as a podium contender with a dominant tech fall over Evan Frost and a win over Vince Santaniello. On the team dual front, for the first time we saw a significant shake-up with the top-ten as NC State and Cornell each lost in the final round at Collegiate Duals. For the rankings, Click Here
