Rutgers Wrestlers in the first 2025 InterMat Preseason Rankings

InterMat Wrestling released their first set of Division I individual rankings ahead of the upcoming 2025-26 college wrestling season and it features several Rutgers Scarlet Knights.
This offseason the Scarlet Knights went out and added four new transfers and even lost a couple of solid wrestlers to the portal as well. With all that being said, let’s see where this year’s lineup ranks in preseason.
