2024-25 NCAA DI Wrestling Rankings

197 - Stephen Buchanan

Zac Braunagel lost to true freshman Aeoden Sinclair in Illinois dual win over Missouri. With that loss, Braunagel drops behind Andy Smith who defeated Sinclair last week. 

Luke Surber defeated Joey Novak in Oklahoma State's dual win over Wyoming. Novak drops behind Surber with that result. 

Josh Barr notably defeated his teammate Lucas Cochran in the finals of the Black Knight Invite. With that win, Barr has put himself in a great position to take over the starting spot at 197 pounds. Barr is currently undefeated in his college career between his redshirt year and this season. However, most of Barr's results are at 184 so Barr comes into the rankings in the same spot his teammate was - at #21.
