On Friday night, the top-two wrestling teams in the nation squared off and it was top-ranked Penn State that prevailed over second-ranked Iowa in a resounding 30-8 victory. The Nittany Lions took eight of ten matches from their Hawkeye rivals. Penn State won all six matches in which they had the higher ranked wrestler and managed to pull off a pair of upsets at 149 and 157 lbs. Now that we’ve had some time to decompress and react to the action on the mat. Here’s the fallout from the most anticipated dual of the season. There still is no clarity on Iowa’s 141 lb situation. Cullan Schriever got the start and did well enough against an unbeaten Beau Bartlett, losing 7-3. Is it enough to say that he should be the starter going forward over Ryder Block? He also got the start against Maryland on Sunday and pulled out a one-point win over Dario Lemus. That’s a positive sign in Schriever’s direction. Before it was Schriever’s turn, Ryder Block went 0-2 in B1G duals and Jace Rhodes was 1-0. Let’s look at potential B1G seeding at 149 lbs! In the upper tier of contenders, Ridge Lovett majored Shayne Van Ness. On Friday night, Van Ness did the same to Kyle Parco. This coming Friday Parco and Lovett will meet. Parco was 2-0 against Lovett in 2023-24 accounting for two of his five losses on the year. Should that trend continue, it will throw a wrench into Big Ten seeding, with the top three wrestlers all beating each other. Now, if Lovett wins, he’s unbeaten in the conference and the clear-cut #1 seed. That would put Van Ness as the second seed and Parco the number three. Van Ness also has matches upcoming with #9 Dylan D’Emilio and #13 Kannon Webster, so there is potential for him to take another loss along the way. Who is the new #1 at 157 lbs? Jacori Teemer was beaten by Tyler Kasak, 5-2. Teemer came into the match ranked number one in the country, but did have a loss via injury default. A second is enough to knock him off of his perch. The contenders for the #1 spot are Kasak and #2 Meyer Shapiro. Shapiro also had a weird, injury-default loss early in the season and missed some time. He’s returned and been utterly dominant, but only has one win over a top-15 opponent. My inclination at this point is to go with Kasak. His resume isn’t much different than Shapiro's, but he has wins over Teemer and #4 Antrell Taylor. All things equal - should Mitchell Mesenbrink win the Hodge Trophy? We still have a month to go and plenty can happen between now and mid-March. I would actually go out on a limb and say that Mitchell Mesenbrink probably won’t win the Hodge under any circumstances. That doesn’t mean that he’s not deserving of it. The award typically goes to seniors or wrestlers who are making some sort of history. That immediately makes you think of Carter Starocci or Gable Steveson. Starocci is going for title number five in a weight class that includes a wrestler who was an undefeated champion in 2024. Steveson is the Olympic gold medal winner who already has two Hodge Trophies and should have a winning streak approaching 70 matches at NCAA time. It would shock me if someone who isn’t Starocci or Steveson wins the award. The wrestler who could threaten that notion is Mesenbrink. Through 14 matches this season, Mesenbrink has 12 tech falls! That’s an absurd number! Looking deeper, the only two non-techs were forfeits! His most recent came on Friday night against the second-ranked wrestler in the country - a two-time All-American. Coming into the match, I was wondering if Michael Caliendo closed the gap, because he’s been excellent himself. We’ll talk about Iowa’s 184 lb situation in two separate parts, starting with Gabe Arnold. Since Arnold was a high school senior he and Penn State’s Carter Starocci have been trading barbs with each other, hyping up a potential match. One did not occur last year as Arnold was redshirting. Based on his eligibility dates at last year’s dual, he was able to compete and maintain a redshirt; however, he was nursing an injury. Before Friday’s dual, the talk grew on both sides as a long-awaited matchup seemed to be on the horizon. Arnold did not weigh in and wasn’t able to be inserted in the lineup at all. Does this have any long-lasting effects? Since Arnold didn’t weigh in and there was plenty of chatter in the final days leading up to the event that Angelo Ferrari was going to get the call, there had to have been some sort of discussion between Arnold and the Iowa staff about this decision. Even so, it kind of makes Arnold look silly after the war of words between him and Starocci. Does that have any lingering impact on Arnold going forward? Generally, the underdog in a situation like this does better the more times they get to meet the favored wrestler. I would have liked to see Arnold get a feel for Starocci before the postseason if I were an Iowa supporter. Ferrari is going to be (already is) really good! That’s not much of a hot take. With an offseason under his belt and the three seniors currently atop the 184 lb weight class gone, Angelo Ferrari will be on the short list of preseason NCAA title contenders at 184 lbs. You’ll have veterans like Bennett Berge and Silas Allred, but also young faces like Ferrari, Zack Ryder, Aeoden Sinclair, and Max McEnelly in the title hunt. Josh Barr suffered his first collegiate loss at the hands of the top-ranked 197 lber in the land Stephen Buchanan. Buchanan has been as good as advertised for the Hawkeyes and is well deserving of a top-billing in a weight class that includes two other unbeaten stars. For Barr, it doesn’t get any easier as he’ll have another undefeated opponent in #2 Jacob Cardenas of Michigan on Friday. Regardless of how Barr/Cardenas plays out, I’m wondering if Barr will be the next wrestler to get a dose of the “Cael Magic” in the postseason? Can he become the latest Penn State freshman to avenge a regular season (or Big Ten) loss at the NCAA Championships? It seems like he could be. I’m sure you’ve heard by now, that the top prospect in the Class of 2026 Bo Bassett, will announce his collegiate choice tomorrow. He’s narrowed his list down to four schools including both Penn State and Iowa - along with Oklahoma State and Virginia Tech. Did the result from this dual impact Bassett’s decision? And not in the way you’re thinking. Because Iowa lost such a lopsided match to the Nittany Lions, did they quickly increase their NIL offer to Bassett in hopes of closing the deal now and leaving nothing to chance? There are plenty of rumors surrounding the dollar figures involved and, suffice it to say, they are mind-boggling for a college wrestler (and unsubstantiated at this time). Iowa has been spending a lot of money on the transfer portal, so they appear well-equipped to do the same for a top prospect like Bassett. Penn State now has a 66-match winning streak and is a step closer to their fourth straight undefeated season. Standing in the way of a 71-0 streak are dates with #4 Ohio State, #13 Illinois, #19 Michigan, #29 Maryland and unranked American. With their win on Friday night, Penn State became the first side in this rivalry to amass 30 points in a single dual since Cael Sanderson took over in 2009-10. The previous high was 29 which Iowa hit in 2010 and Penn State matched in 2024.

Last night, we learned that the top heavyweight prospect in the Class of 2026 and the #3 overall junior, Dreshaun Ross, has given the Oklahoma State Cowboys a verbal commitment. His pledge gives David Taylor’s team verbals from three of the top 22 juniors in the country - joining #14 Rocklin Zinklin and #22 Kellen Wolbert. Ross’s commitment also felt like the appropriate time to dig into Oklahoma State’s recent history with elite, blue-chip recruits. The story of the overlooked walk-on who turns into an excellent college wrestler is great, but more times than not, you need the thoroughbreds to win the NCAA wrestling race. The 2024 NCAA finals are evidence of this statement. Of the ten national champions from last year, Virginia Tech’s Caleb Henson had the “lowest” recruiting ranking of the bunch. He was deemed the #16 overall recruit in the Class of 2022. Eight of the ten champions were ranked in the top ten of their respective classes. Expanding it out to the NCAA finalists from 2024, five of the runners-up were ranked in the top ten and another was ranked #11. The outliers were #49 Lucas Davison and #59 Mitchell Mesenbrink (after the cut-off in the recruiting rankings - Mesenbrink performed in a way worthy of a much higher ranking). For first-year head coach Taylor to make a dent in Penn State’s supremacy and potentially threaten to usurp his alma mater, he’ll need the big point-scoring horses…and lots of them. A class like the one he signed in 2025 and is assembling in 2026 are huge steps in the right direction. With Oklahoma State a potential suitor for #1 Bo Bassett and #2 Jax Forrest, the 2026 class could be a special one. Before focusing on the future, let’s look at how we got here. Oklahoma State’s recent success with these blue-chip recruits. Of course, blue-chip is a difficult label to lock down. Some recruiting classes are deeper than others so it’s not a certain number. But for the purposes of this article, we’ll call blue-chip someone ranked in the top 15 overall in their senior class. Over the last three years, 24 of the 30 individual national championships have been won by a wrestler ranked 15th or better. Below are wrestlers from the last ten recruiting classes who initially signed with Oklahoma State and were ranked in the top 15 overall. Class of 2025 #2 Ladarion Lockett (Stillwater, Oklahoma) #5 Landon Robideau (St. Michael-Albertville, Minnesota) #7 Sergio Vega (Sunnyside, Arizona) Class of 2024 #2 Cody Merrill (Gilroy, California) Class of 2023 #2 Christian Carroll (Elkhart, Indiana) #5 Brayden Thompson (Lockport, Illinois) #8 Cael Hughes (Stillwater, Oklahoma) Class of 2022 #10 Jordan Williams (Stillwater, Oklahoma) Class of 2021 #15 Victor Voinovich (Brecksville, Ohio) Class of 2020 #1 AJ Ferrari (Allen, Texas) #2 Dustin Plott (Tuttle, Oklahoma) Class of 2019 None Class of 2018 #6 Travis Wittlake (Marshfield Oregon) Class of 2017 #2 Daton Fix (Sand Springs, Oklahoma) #15 Kaden Gfeller (Heritage Hall, Oklahoma) Class of 2016 None The number of blue-chippers isn’t necessarily an issue for Oklahoma State. Only Penn State has signed more (22) and Ohio State is tied with them (14). In addition to more swings at the pinata, Penn State also has an incredible “hit rate” for their top prospects. Of those 22, Alex Facundo, Gavin Teasdale, Brady Berge, and Mason Manville are the only ones who haven’t achieved All-American status. Of course, Josh Barr and others younger than him have not, but seemed poised to. Facundo still has a few cracks at it. Basically, Sanderson and Penn State have signed big guns, but also have done an excellent job at signing the right ones and ones that fit in with their system. It appears as if, under Taylor’s direction, Oklahoma State will have more and more of these highly-ranked signees. They’ll be needed to close the gap with the team from State College. Looking at the Oklahoma State list, Williams, Voinovich, and Carroll have already transferred out and have multiple years of eligibility remaining. Their blue-chip numbers are also bolstered by three Class of 2025 recruits who have yet to graduate from high school - so they’ll need more in the years to come. Overall, Oklahoma State has had a mixed bag with blue-chip recruits within the last decade. Daton Fix was a home run making multiple NCAA finals and winning a Senior world medal while still in college. He’ll go down in that club that no one wants to be a part of - one of the best non-NCAA champions ever. Dustin Plott has also been as good as advertised. He’s been a multi-time All-American and a high finisher in a weight class loaded with talent. AJ Ferrari. The talent was there - evidenced by his national championship as a true freshman at 197 lbs. He was only able to wrestle at one NCAA tournament for the Cowboys as a car crash sidelined him the following year and disciplinary problems led to his dismissal later on in 2022. I don’t know if you’d classify that as a win or not on the recruiting trail. They did get a national title and a team trophy with him on the mat. We’ve mentioned Penn State a handful of times, but they are the standard and surely what Taylor is aiming to surpass. For that to happen, Oklahoma State will need to be more consistent with the number of top, top recruits they bring in and they also need to cut down on attrition. Some of that is natural with a coaching change and the loss of Williams and Carroll could be attributed to that factor. We’ll see with more recruiting classes if Taylor and his staff - led by recruiting coordinator Bryan Pearsall, are able to identify those studs that not only have the ability to win immediately, but also fit into Taylor’s vision of the program. That still might take some time to notice. The starters on the current squad are largely a veteran crew. Taylor was able to have some input on the Class of 2024 recruiting and even inherited some commits from the Class of 2025. The Class of 2026 will be the first that has only the fingerprints of him and his staff.

The #3 overall recruit in the high school Class of 2026 has made his college decision. Dreshaun Ross (Fort Dodge, IA) has committed to wrestle for David Taylor and the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Ross is a two-time Iowa state champion having won his first state title as a freshman at 195 lbs and his second at 215. Outside of Iowa, Ross has been excellent on the freestyle and Greco-Roman circuit. In 2023, Ross won both styles in Fargo at the 16U age group. The previous year he won the freestyle title. Ross is also a two-time freestyle finalist at the UWW U17 World Team Trials. He was second in 2023, but made the 2024 World Team. Unfortunately, Ross was injured and unable to compete at the U17 World Championships. Elijah Diakomihalis replaced him and ended up with a bronze medal. That injury sidelined Ross until just a few weeks ago. He has won tournament titles at 215 lbs in each of the last three weeks. Ross joins #14 Rocklin Zinkin and #22 Kellen Wolbert in what is shaping up to be an excellent recruiting class for Taylor and the Cowboy staff. Oklahoma State’s 2025 class is also one of the best in the nation. At the next level, Ross looks like he’ll grow into the heavyweight class. Currently, there are no young heavyweights on the Cowboys roster. One of their top signees from 2025, #46 Austin Johnson, is projected to wrestle 285 lbs. Ross chose Oklahoma State over Iowa, Iowa State, and Penn State. He also took recruiting visits to Northern Illinois, Ohio State, and Oklahoma.
