College Wrestling rankings: InterMat updates all 10 weight classes after Week 4

The latest NCAA wrestling rankings from InterMat are here now that Week 4 of the season is in the books! InterMat ranks No. 1 to 33 in all 10 weight classes.

The Keystone Classic and Black Knight Invitational highlighted the weekend before Thanksgiving. And, there were some duals sprinkled into the fun.

So without further ado, let’s dive into the latest batch of in-season wrestling rankings from InterMat. We start at 125 by getting a look at the Top 10 in each weight.

125 lbs.

1. Vincent Robinson, NC State (+1)
2. Luke Lilledahl, Penn State (-1)
3. Nic Bouzakis, Ohio State
4. Jore Volk, Minnesota
5. Eddie Ventresca, Virginia Tech
6. Sheldon Seymour, Lehigh
7. Dean Peterson, Iowa
8. Troy Spratley, Oklahoma State
9. Stevo Poulin, Iowa State (+1)
10. Nicolar Rivera, Wisconsin (+1)

Robinson, last year’s NCAA champ, is back on top and now 3-1 on the season. Lilledahl fell one spot after losing to teammate Nathan Desmond over the weekend. Rivera is back in the top 10 for Intermat with a 5-0 record.

133 lbs.

1. Lucas Byrd, Illinois
2. Ben Davino, Ohio State
3. Drake Ayala, Iowa
4. Ryan Crookham, Lehigh
5. Zan Fugitt, Wisconsin
6. Evan Frost, Iowa State
7. Tyler Knox, Stanford
8. Jacob Van Dee, Nebraska (+1)
9. Dominick Serrano, Northern Colorado (+1)
10. Dillon Campbell, Virginia Tech (+2)

Not much movement for InterMat at 133 this week, except for Rutgers’ Dylan Shawver falling from No. 8 to 13 after losing the finals of the Keystone Classic. With him out, Campbell is in. The freshman is 9-1 to start the year.

141 lbs. 

1. Jesse Mendez, Ohio State
2. Sergio Vega, Oklahoma State
3. Brock Hardy, Nebraska
4. Luke Stanich, Lehigh
5. Zeth Romney, Cal Poly (-1)
6. Anthony Echemendia, Iowa State (+1)
7. Nasier Bailey, Iowa (+1)
8. Dylan Ragusin, Michigan (+1)
9. Vance Vombaur, Minnesota (+2)
10. Aaron Nagao, Penn State

Not much to say at 141 this week. InterMat moved Vombaur back into the top 10 as he is 10-2 to start his season. We’re still waiting for Stanich and Ragusin to make their debuts this year as well. Penn’s CJ Composto was removed from the rankings for now due to inactivity, so there could be something regarding a potential injury or other situation.

149 lbs. 

1. Shayne Van Ness, Penn State
2. Paniro Johnson, Iowa State
3. Jaxon Joy, Cornell
4. Kaleb Larkin, Arizona State
5. Lachlan McNeil, Michigan
6. Cross Wasilewski, Penn
7. Chance Lamer, Nebraska
8. Ethan Stiles, Ohio State
9. Koy Buesgens, NC State
10. Ryder Block, Iowa

149 stayed the same this week and there are very few losses amongst InterMat’s top 10 guys. Larkin has been the most impressive so far, going 7-0 for ASU and being a bright spot for the program. Let’s not forget about Wasilewski and Lamer, who are both 10-0 so far!

157 lbs.

1. Ty Watters, West Virginia
2. Landon Robideau, Oklahoma State
3. Vince Zerban, Iowa State
4. Daniel Cardenas, Stanford
5. Brandon Cannon, Ohio State
6. Antrell Taylor, Nebraska
7. Kannon Webster, Illinois
8. Rafael Hipolito, Oklahoma
9. Gavin Drexler, North Dakota State
10. Logan Rozynski, Lehigh

157 didn’t see any movement in the top 10 this week, so we’ll wait to make more judgments on this weight class. Hipolito and Drexler have only wrestled once each this season while others like Cardenas only have two matches as we get to Thanksgiving.

165 lbs.

1. Mitchell Mesenbrink, Penn State
2. Ladarion Lockett, Oklahoma State
3. Mikey Caliendo, Iowa
4. Joey Blaze, Purdue
5. Matt Bianchi, Arkansas-Little Rock
6. Hunter Garvin, Stanford
7. Max Brignola, Lehigh
8. Braeden Scoles, Illinois
9. Andrew Sparks, Minnesota
10. Paddy Gallagher, Ohio State

Another weight class and no movement in the top 10 for InterMat this week. Mesenbrink and Lockett top 165 and are both undefeated. Blaze is also 5-0, which is impressive considering he is up a weight class after making the NCAA finals at 157 last year.

174 lbs.

1. Levi Haines, Penn State
2. Patrick Kennedy, Iowa
3. Simon Ruiz, Cornell
4. Matthew Singleton, NC State
5. Carson Kharchla, Ohio State
6. Christopher Minto, Nebraska
7. Danny Wask, Navy
8. Lenny Pinto, Rutgers
9. Garrett Thompson, Ohio
10. Jared Simma, Northern Iowa

The top four guys are a combined 17-0 to start the season, so good luck figuring that out. Yes, we know Haines is the title favorite! Pinto won the Keystone Classic this weekend and Thompson has yet to wrestle this season.

184 lbs.

1. Angelo Ferrari, Iowa
2. Aeoden Sinclair, Missouri
3. Max McEnelly, Minnesota
4. Rocco Welsh, Penn State
5. Jaxon Smith, Maryland
6. Dylan Fishback, Ohio State
7. Brock Mantanona, Michigan
8. Silas Allred, Nebraska
9. Zack Ryder, Oklahoma State
10. Isaac Dean, Iowa State

No movement in InterMat’s rankings at 184 as far as the top 10 are concerned. Sinclair is a very impressive 11-1, with his lone loss coming to Ferrari. Welsh is starting to settle into that Penn State singlet and should be a major factor as the season progresses.

197 lbs. 

1. Josh Barr, Penn State
2. Rocky Elam, Iowa State
3. Stephen Little, Arkansas-Little Rock
4. Massoma Endene, Iowa (+4)
5. Mac Stout, Pittsburgh (-1)
6. Joey Novak, Wyoming (-1)
7. Bennett Berge, South Dakota State (-1)
8. Justin Rademacher, Oregon State (-1)
9. Cody Merrill, Oklahoma State
10. Camden McDanel, Nebraska

Endene made some waves beating Stout head to head and is now 6-0 on the season. The Division III transfer has made the adjustment and looks like a man on a mission. Barr and Berge have yet to wrestle and keep an eye on Rademacher, who’s 10-0 this year.

285 lbs. 

1. Yonger Bastida, Iowa State
2. Isaac Trumble, NC State
3. Nick Felman, Ohio State
4. AJ Ferrari, Nebraska
5. Taye Ghadiali, Michigan
6. Ben Kueter, Iowa
7. Nathan Taylor, Lehigh
8. Konner Doucet, Oklahoma State
9. Luke Luffman, Illinois
10. Cole Mirasola, Penn State

The top 10 for InterMat remained unchanged this week. Feldman is a very impressive 10-0 so far and there’s only four combined losses across all 10 guys here. Trumble and Taylor have yet to wrestle so far this season.
