College wrestling: Top 5 wrestlers still in NCAA transfer portal
The college wrestling transfer portal is still active, from the perspective of top names being undecided on their future right now. There are five wrestlers in particular with big names, accolades, etc. that have yet to find a new home.
Jaxon Smith was the recent big name to find a new home, going from Maryland to Ohio State. So where do the remaining wrestlers go? Well, let’s break down what they bring to the table.
Here are five wrestlers still in the transfer portal who have yet to commit to a new school. AJ Ferrari , Nebraska Ferrari remains in the transfer portal and reportedly needs a waiver for one more season of eligibility. To be fair, he’s only wrestled in three different postseasons with three different schools.
However, the 2021 NCAA champion began his career that aforementioned year. His second season at Oklahoma State was derailed due to a car accident and eventual dismissal from the team. He didn’t even resurface on an actual roster until 2024-25 at CSU Bakersfield.
Still, he’s a podium threat at heavyweight if he returns, even at 197 if he manages to drop back down a weight next season. Jordan Williams , Iowa Williams entered the transfer portal to look for his fourth school, but then repped the Hawkeye Wrestling Club during the US Open and World Team Trials. It seems like he could return to Iowa, but then again, it’s a mystery.
