NCAA wrestling award standings update for the 2025 season

INDIANAPOLIS — The NCAA has released updated standings for the 2025 NCAA Wrestling Awards that will be awarded on March 22 at the conclusion of the Division I Wrestling Championships.
The inaugural NCAA Wrestling Awards were presented at the 2012 wrestling championships. The three awards, given in each division, honor the Most Dominant Wrestler as well as the student-athletes that have accumulated the most falls and the most technical falls throughout the course of the regular and postseasons.
🤼 MORE COLLEGE WRESTLING 🤼 🚨 Alerts and updates on Bleacher Report🎥 Wrestling on YouTube 🍎 Follow on Apple News
For results to be counted for the awards they must come against opponents in the same division (i.e. Division II vs. Division II). Ties in the falls and tech falls categories are broken based on the aggregate time.
The Most Dominant Wrestler standings are calculated by adding the total number of team points awarded through match results and dividing that number by the total number of matches wrestled. Wrestlers need a minimum of 17 matches and must qualify for the national tournament to win the award. Points per match are awarded as follows.

Fall, forfeit, injury default or DQ = 6 points (-6 points for a loss)
Tech falls = 5 points (-5 points for a loss)
Major decision = 4 points (-4 points for a loss)
Decision = 3 points (-3 points for a loss)

Big 12 Conference heavyweight champion Wyatt Hendrickson of Oklahoma State has led wire-to-wire in the standings for Most Dominant Wrestler. Going into the national championships, … more at … https://www.ncaa.com/news/wrestling/article/2025-03-11/ncaa-wrestling-award-standings-update-2025-season
