2025 NCAA champion Vince Robinson ( NC State ) plans to enter the transfer portal, he revealed on social media . Robinson was a two-time All-American for the Wolfpack and has two years of eligibility remaining. “Being able to wrestle in a NC State singlet has been a privilege & a journey that I will forever love & be grateful for,” Robinson wrote on Instagram .
“To Wolfpack Nation, I want to thank you for all the moments, support, and unconditional love you’ve showed me since I took my first whistle in a NC State singlet & I’m forever blessed to be able to have my name put in those rafters forever because it wouldn’t have been possible without you all. “I want to thank all my coaches, brothers, trainer, Mackenzi and the program. You guys have gave me the best 3 years of my life and helped me achieve a dream that I’ve been chasing since a kid and I can’t thank any of you all enough for that.
After a lot of talking with my family and God, I will be entering my name in the transfer portal. ” Robinson is 44-9 in his collegiate career after spending three years with NC State. He redshirted his first year and then went 23-3 in 2024-25, winning the NCAA crown at 125 pounds over Oklahoma State’s Troy Spratley.
After losing to Spratley in the second round of this year’s tournament, Robinson wrestled back and beat No. 2 seed Eddie Ventresca (Virginia Tech) in the Blood Round to become an All-American for the second straight year. He ended up beating Spratley in the consolation bracket 3-2 in tiebreakers to advance to the third place match.
