KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) released the final regular season 2025-26 Men's Wrestling Top 25 Coaches' Poll earlier this morning, where for the eighth and final time this season, the Corban University Men's Wrestling program was ranked among the nation's best grapplers with a No. 23-overall result heading into postseason competition next weekend in Salem.

"As a conference, it looks like we garnered 47 automatic bids to the national tournament based on today's rankings," explained Corban head coach Nolan Harris. "I feel like there are a couple of our guys that have been ranked throughout the season that mistakenly got left off the final poll. Since that impact the automatic bids, I'm a little disappointed to see that. Regardless, the postseason is near, and it'll soon be time to compete and see just how accurate our current ranking system is. I'm excited for our guys to let their hard work come to fruition over the course of these next two competitions, hopefully see many of them qualify for the national tournament and accomplish the goals they've been training for since last March."

The Navy and Gold (9-8) fall into a two-way tie for No. 23-overall with Cascade Collegiate Conference (CCC) opponent Eastern Oregon University following a 2-0 overall finish to their regular season in dual results with head-to-head victories over NCAA DIII schools Linfield University and Pacific University. The Dubs torched the Wildcats for a 44-12 Senior Night result at the end of January, followed by a 33-15 road win over the Boxers in Forest Grove the following weekend.

Just three Warriors finished the 2025-26 regular season ranked within the top 25 of their individual weight classes, despite three others making appearances in the national polls throughout the year. Redshirt senior Antonio Garcia continues to lead all Corban student-athletes as the projected runner-up for 285lbs with his No. 2-ranking, while junior Isaiah Twait and senior Jr Downing are ranked No. 5 and No. 18 for the 184 and 149-weight classes, respectively.
