Suggested first step

Submit the ARI wrestling questionnaire, then email head coach Bobby Patnesky at bobby.patnesky@waynesburg.edu or call 724-852-3338. Name your weight and ask what the 2026-27 lineup looks like — the published roster is not yet updated for winter sports, so ask rather than assume. The program also runs a summer prospect camp (most recently July 24, 2026) that is a natural first visit.

Junior Jessie Orbin carried the program: he won his second straight PAC 174-pound title at the 66th PAC Championships (Hiram College, February 14, 2026) and was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Wrestler, becoming the first Yellow Jacket to win consecutive titles since Colby Morris. Orbin finished 2025-26 at 32-4 and won the 174-pound title at both the Jeff Breese Invitational and the John Summa Invitational; he had also won the PAC 174 title in 2025 and the 184 title at the W&J Invitational in both 2024 and 2025. Team results were thin: 5th of 6 at the 2026 PAC Championships (Saint Vincent won the team title) and 5th of 5 in 2025, with the only 2025-26 dual win a 45-0 shutout of Penn State Altoona on November 7, 2025. Tournament placings in 2025-26: 16th at the W&J Invitational, 11th of 13 at the Ohio Northern Invitational, 5th of 5 at the Jeff Breese Invitational, 13th of 13 at the John Summa Invitational.
