2023-24 NCAA DI Rankings
125 - Anthony Noto
Matt Ramos drops to #3 after losing at the Clarion Open to Marcus Blaze. Despite the loss, Ramos' resume keeps him from dropping too far - especially his wins at the 2023 NCAA Tournament over Spencer Lee and Killian Cardinale.
Anthony Noto takes over as the #1 with Ramos dropping. Noto had a phenomenal season last year highlighted by his 4th place finish at the NCAA Tournament.
Brayden Palmer enters the rankings at #14 after winning the Clarion Open and defeating Marcus Blaze and Nick Babin. Palmer is dropping down from 133 where he was an NCAA qualifier last year going 2-2 and finishing in the round of 16 at the NCAA Tournament. Palmer looks to have great potential at this lower weight class but he doesn't currently have the top-ranked wins to move him up the ratings. That fact, and some of his lower ranked losses keep him outside of the top 10 for now.
Jett Strickenberger and Spencer Moore are new to the rankings this week after they both defeated 2022 All-American Brandon Kaylor.
