On this final day of July in 2025, we put forth our Final Postseason Update to the 2024-25 High School on SI National Wrestling Rankings. This is the last time seniors from the Class of 2025 will appear in our reports. The August rankings update will be the first with everyone up at the grades they will be competing in during the 2025-26 season and incoming ninth graders will be eligible for their first appearance.

Ushering in New Faces at 106

The exception to the incoming ninth graders being listed is at 106 pounds, where we needed the middle schoolers now to fill out the rankings as so many who were at 106 for the high school portion of this period are now up in weight. We view the report before the postseason started to be more of a “Final” ranking than this one, as at that time, we only had one rep per team at each weight, and everyone was participating.

Speaking of competing, a wrestler did not fall out of the rankings if he was idle during the spring and summer. His ranking may have been altered positively or negatively by others around him, but no one was removed. We ranked everyone at the weight we last saw them compete at. For those who were at kilogram weights, we slotted them at the closest pound weight class.

Weight Class Shakeups After Fargo

As is typically the case, Fargo provided a slate of surprises and therefore, a shake-up to some of the weight classes. We honored the Fargo results as much as possible. There were a lot of one-off type wins when looking at someone’s prior resume, and in some instances, a known ranked wrestler beat a higher ranked foe, only to turn around and follow that up with a loss to an unranked or lesser heralded opponent.

Folkstyle Reigns Supreme in Rankings Criteria

We have always maintained the base of our rankings comes from the Folkstyle realm. These wrestlers participate in that discipline 80% of the time, if not more, so it makes sense that Folkstyle would take precedence, especially over some of the flukier Fargo results.

We were able to find a home in the rankings for all the Junior Freestyle placers from 113 pounds on up. In years past, there have been a few guys each year whose Fargo performance came out of nowhere, not because of being overlooked, but due to a checkered past. Some of the guys who did that this year have found inclusion but maybe not as high as one would think based on their Fargo showing.

A lot of the 16U stars will have to wait until August to see their work reflected in our rankings as the young blood is still being kept out by the old guard. Once the ones who are finished with high school are removed, those sitting behind them will slide into the rankings.

As we have stated before, all your matches dictate your ranking. We balance out the wins and losses with some of the more high-profile guys who are at almost every major event. When you are out there like that (looking at you, Lake Highland Prep), you’re more susceptible to strange outcomes, especially in the Freestyle and Greco Roman waters.

We keep very detailed, handwritten sheets and will sit them side by side to compare their bodies of work. A lot of times there are very clear chains that emerge, especially since we combine all styles into one ranking, and then other times you must weigh the wins and losses to place a wrestler fairly. We look at all the matches and factor everything in when it comes to tricky rankings choices.

The Fargo Factor: Who Moved Up and Who Fell

Stillwater, Oklahoma’s Ignacio Villasenor’s Fargo came with losses at 126 pounds to New Jersey’s Paul Kenny and Illinois’ Junior Freestyle runner-up Nicholas Garcia at 126 pounds. Villasenor slipped down to the fourth spot from right behind No. 1 Anthony Knox of New Jersey, whom he won a match against at the U20 World Team Trials in their best of three battle, and beat Antonio Mills there as well.

Despite the win over Villasenor, Garcia sits at No. 14 because he has previous losses to Carson Dupill (South Dakota), Mikey Ruiz (Texas), and Czar Quintanilla (Washington), who are all ranked behind him, so we balanced his losses with all their Fargo performances and came to what we feel was a fair order given all the intricacies.

Another one like this we will note is Michigan’s Blake Cosby at 150 pounds. Cosby came into Fargo ranked second in the country and failed to reach the podium, losing to North Carolina’s Bentley Sly and the eventual silver medalist, Georgia’s Dallas Russell. Cosby, now down to fifth in the ratings, was second at Super 32 with wins over Oklahoma’s Beau Hickman, Texas’ Dorian Olivarez, and Pennsylvania’s Devon Magro. Sly also failed to medal, falling to Montana’s Chris Acuna and No. 19 Michael Turi (Pennsylvania). The loss to Acuna coupled with a Southeast Regional final second-place finish to Florida’s unranked Armand Williams, keeps Sly down in the rankings at number 25.

There are many examples like these, not just from Fargo, but throughout the year. It’s why sometimes taking a big picture point of view provides the needed clarity to sort through the madness that occurs between the top dogs in the nation.

Why One Big Win Doesn’t Guarantee a High Rank

Losses, they very much do count. You can’t pick up one big win (as quite a few did at Fargo) and have that outweigh multiple losses to unranked guys that are on your track record. Believe this, we do our research on every wrestler that emerges. Nothing gives us greater pleasure than adding a new name to the rankings. But sometimes when we dig into the past, it reveals that a wrestler should not be ranked.

Heavyweight Outlook for 2025-26 Season

The 285-pound weight class will look a lot like it does this year at the top of the hierarchy for the 2025-26 season as just one of the top six, New Jersey’s No. 4 Rocco Dellagatta (Saint John Vianney) departs the prep ranks. If none of them choose to skip their senior season to train at the Olympic Training Center, No. 1 Dreshaun Ross (Fort Dodge, Iowa), No. 2 Coby Merrill (JW North, California), No. 3 Michael Mocco (Cardinal Gibbons, Florida), No. 5 Dean Bechtold (Owen J. Roberts, Pennsylvania), and No. 6 Alex Taylor (Mount Vernon, Ohio), will be joined by No. 9 Mark Effendian (Faith Christian Academy, Pennsylvania) to create a fierce top six.

State-by-State Breakdown: Pennsylvania Leads the Pack

Pennsylvania leads the way with five number ones and a whopping 104 ranked wrestlers. Outdistancing California’s next best tally of 60 by almost double. The Keystone State’s top dogs include two from Bishop McCort – Jax Forrest (132 pounds) and Bo Bassett (144), Faith Christian Academy’s Freddy Bachmann (113 pounds), Thomas Jefferson’s Maddox Shaw (150), and Jude Correa (215), who competed for Wyoming Seminary, but is from New Hampshire.

While California had zero at the top of their weights, they had three number twos, Samuel Sanchez (Esperanza, 113 pounds), Angelo Posada (Poway, 215), and Merrill at heavyweight. Four Californians come in ranked third in their weights, including three from Gilroy – Moses Mendoza (132 pounds), Daniel Zepeda (144), and Tyler Eise (175), joined by Rocklin Zinkin of Buchanan at 120 pounds. Mendoza won his Fargo crown, on tie breaker criteria, 6-6, over his high school teammate, Isaiah Cortez, who was ranked ahead of Mendoza at the time of their final.

New Jersey was second to Pennsylvania, or tied, depending on how you view Correa, with four champions. Like Pennsylvania, two come from the same program as Blair Academy’s Leo DeLuca (120 pounds) and William Henckel (175) finish atop their foes. Four-time state champ, Anthony Knox (Saint John Vianney, 126 pounds) and Brick Memorial’s Harvey Ludington (190) are the other two. In all, 51 Garden State Grapplers litter our list, the third highest total.

Ohio is fourth with 40 in the rankings, but just one rated the best, Perrysburg’s Marcus Blaze (138 pounds). Ross paces Iowa’s 29 included in the latest report, which equals Illinois, who had no one atop the heap. Indiana has 27 in the rankings, one ahead of Wisconsin’s 26. New York holds the ninth highest number of guys with 19 and Minisink Valley’s PJ Duke as their number one at 157 pounds.

Oklahoma had 17 wrestlers populate the list with their sole number one being Stillwater’s Ladarion Lockett (165 pounds). Georgia had the final top ranked competitor, Athens Christian’s Ariah Mills at 106 pounds. Mills was joined by 15 other Georgians in the report. Of Florida’s 16 in the rankings, nine come from Lake Highland Prep.

The Highlanders nine in the rankings equaled other national powers Bishop McCort, Faith Christian, and Wyoming Seminary. Buchanan (California) and St. Joseph’s Regional from New Jersey put eight each on the list. Putting seven amongst the ranked were California’s St. John Bosco and Massillon Perry of Ohio.

PJ Duke and Jax Forest Earns Spots on Senior World Team

This rankings period saw a very rare occurrence happen twice as two wrestlers cracked the Senior World Team while still enrolled in high school. PJ Duke’s came first as he did his deed at Final X in May when he shocked 2022 World Silver Medalist and four-time NCAA Champion, Yianni Diakomihalis, by winning the final two bouts in the best of three showdown with the final one coming by fall. Diakomihalis had an easy win in the opener, but the tide shifted in Duke’s favor midway through the second match.

Jax Forrest had his match with Vito Arujau originally scheduled for Final X alongside Duke, rescheduled upon request by Arujau to be held on the Monday of Freestyle competition at the U.S. Marine Corps Junior National at Fargo. The delay did not aid Arujau, who was a 2023 World Champion, as the junior (soon to be senior), took two straight, with a late takedown for the win in the first one and taking the second in commanding fashion, 7-2.
