2025-26 Top 40 National High School Wrestling Rankings - Feb. 5, 2026

Dual state tournaments, national prep showdowns, and major ranking shifts headline a pivotal weekend in high school wrestling across the country.

After capturing the Delaware Hayes Rieman Invitational, Ohio's Dublin Coffman jump 14 spots in this week's team rankings, to No. 18. / Coffman Wrestling - Tommy Wurster

Most of the country is now in some form of postseason wrestling. Pennsylvania’s Dual Meet State Tournament is underway and concludes this weekend. Iowa and Nebraska will crown their dual state champions this weekend as well.

Pennsylvania, Midwest Brackets Take Center Stage

No. 5 Faith Christian Academy will likely see No. 18 Bishop McDevitt in their AA Semifinal with No. 10 Bishop McCort being the probable finals opponent. On the AAA side, Nazareth’s antics at the District Duals forced the one of the big changes to this week’s update when they downed previous No. 24 Notre Dame-Green Pond.

The win pushed Nazareth up from the last spot in the report to No. 28. It also elevated Virginia’s No. 39, Grassfield, to 27 as they beat Nazareth to win the Virginia Duals in January.

Ohio Surge, California Powerhouses Loom

The other big mover was Ohio’s Dublin Coffman, who jumped from 32 to 18, after winning the team race at the Delaware Hayes Rieman Invitational, finishing ahead of now No. 19 Massillon Perry, 276-252.

While California doesn’t crown a dual state champion, they do have a Section Duals Tournament and the Central Section features No. 1 Buchanan, No. 12 Clovis, and No. 22 Clovis North. No. 2 Lake Highland Prep is making a trip out west to Arizona for a tri-meet with Sunnyside and Valiant Prep.

National Prep Showdowns Highlight the Weekend

On Saturday we get a big National Prep showdown with No. 3 Bair Academy traveling from New Jersey to Kingston, Pennsylvania to take on No. 11 Wyoming Seminary. The Knights will also host No. 4 Delbarton on Friday night in another NJ/PA Battle.

Keeping the Jersey to Pennsylvania pipeline going is No. 21 St. Joseph’s Regional, who will head across state lines to take on No. 7 Malvern Prep. Two of Jersey’s top private school affiliates collide as No. 9 Christian Brothers Academy visits No. 20 St. Peter’s Prep.

The individual process is already unfolding in Illinois and Indiana, with the first of their events taking place last weekend. Indiana is at the second of four stages with Regionals after last week’s sectionals. The Semi-States are followed by the state tournament. Georgia and Texas are also in phase two of their state series.
