Roster depth & fit Recruit Pass verified 2026-09-03

2 crowded weights · 4 lighter weights on the 2025-26 roster (23 listed) · Wrestling competitiveness: Limited

Counted from the 2025-26 roster. We recount when Wheaton (IL)'s 2026-27 roster goes up, and the change log shows it.

  1. How many wrestlers—including recruits—do you expect at my projected weight next season?
  2. The published roster suggests no clear low-count/senior-driven opening from published roster. How should I interpret that after redshirts, transfers and weight changes?

Recruit Pass adds on this page:

  • 6 more coach questions
  • all 6 fit ratings, with the evidence behind each
  • all 10 weights counted, with seniors and grads marked

One Pass covers every D2 & D3 program. See a fully open example: Adams State →
