Counted from the 2025-26 roster. We recount when East Stroudsburg's 2026-27 roster goes up, and the change log shows it.

Luke Ciampa was the program's only 2026 national qualifier and its first since Layton Schmick - what is the plan to get more Warriors through Super Region 1, where ESU scored 23.5 points against Gannon's 175?
There is no wrestling-specific recruiting questionnaire on esuwarriors.com - is the general Prospective Student-Athlete Form the right way to reach you, or do you prefer email straight to anieves2@esu.edu?
