PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Season tickets for the upcoming 2025-26 Rutgers wrestling home campaign are now available. The Scarlet Knights are set to host Big Ten foes Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota and Purdue this winter. RU will also host a season-opening quad match with Bloomsburg, Centenary and Gardner-Webb on Sunday, November 2.
Additional out-of-conference dates and opponents will be released in the coming weeks.
Rutgers produced seven national qualifiers and three Blood Round participants at last season's NCAA Championships in Philadelphia. The Scarlet Knights wrapped up the regular season No. 11 in the final NWCA Coaches Poll, marking the program's highest finish in the rankings since they closed the 2015-16 campaign No. 10. It also signified RU's 13th top 25 final team ranking under head coach Scott Goodale.
Rutgers also welcomes several impact transfers to next year's squad, including heavyweight Hunter Catka (Virginia Tech), 197-pounder Remy Cotton (Michigan State) and 174-pounder Lenny Pinto (Nebraska). The trio has combined for seven NCAA Championships appearances during their collegiate careers.
The Scarlet Knights return five NCAA qualifiers – Dylan Shawver (125), Joseph Olivieri (141), Andrew Clark (149), Anthony White (165) and Shane Cartagena-Walsh (197) – to their roster this season. Shawver, a 2024 Big Ten Champion and NCAA All-American, returns for his final collegiate season.
RU finished fifth in national attendance for the 2024-25 home dual season. It marks the eighth time in nine seasons the Scarlet Knights finished within the top five nationally and the ninth consecutive year appearing in the top 10.
