He did. And it won’t. Will be interesting to see how PSU navigates this to get their talent into the right places.

Stacked lineup right there for OkSt. Would like to see how that lineup does against PSU next season which may look like… 125 LL 133 Desmond 141 Ono 149 SVN 157 Kasak 165 MM 174 Henkel 184 Rocco 197 Barr HWT Mirasola

Who is not back for next season? Does Forrest stay at 133? Vega stay at 141? Where do the Raney twins fit into the lineup? Does DreShaun Ross wrestle as a true freshman?

165lb NCAA title match Dake vs DT.

And Henson. Thought Melvin Miller is a junior in HS this year…unless he’s gonna graduate early like Jax?

Nice. Funny guy.

Looks like the Mirasola’s would fit into OkSt lineup very nicely. And Zach Ryder for that matter. Hell, might as well throw Braden Davis into the mix in Stillwater.

Two accomplished this feat in 2025, Figueroa and Alirez. Both went 1-2. What happened to these guys this year? And how often has this happened in the past?

Totally disagree with the OP. I thought majority of the matches were fantastic. And pretty awesome that 8 out of the 10 champs this year were first-time champs, which is pretty incredible considering 7/10 weight classes had at least 1 returning champ in the mix.

You forgot… Best no-timer - John Trenge

I am from PA. Wrestled in central PA (district 3). Lehigh Univ class of ‘98. But I’m still picking Nolf.

Uetake, no doubt about it. However, let’s debate the more modern era with guys that had 4 seasons to compete in, but only won 3. Who was the best of them? For me, my short list is between Zain, Nolf, Nickal, Ruth, Spencer. I’m gonna say Jason Nolf.

How many Hodge trophies did Sanderson win? And who has the most?

That’s a good point you make. Another way to eclipse Cael’s career…no losses, win 4, no RS.

Agree with all of this except the last statement. For me, Sanderson’s collegiate career can only be eclipsed by a wrestler who wins 4 NCAA titles, goes undefeated, and wins 4 Hodge trophies. I’m not overly familiar with Uetake’s career. If he went 3/3 and was undefeated, I’d put him even with Sanderson, and above Dake.
