PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Rutgers wrestling has been selected to host the 2025 NWCA All-Star Classic, presented by Nike Wrestling, on Saturday, November 1 at Jersey Mike's Arena. FloWrestling will exclusively stream the all-star exhibition live.

Tickets for the event, which is set to begin at 7 p.m. can be found here.
 
Last year's event featured five NCAA Champions (Lucas Byrd, Jesse Mendez, Levi Haines, Carter Starocci and Parker Keckeisen) and 12 All-Americans. Last year's classic also included NCAA Division II men's champion Derek Blubaugh, NCAA Division III men's champion Massoma Endene, NAIA women's champions Carolina Moreno and Jamilah McBryde, and NCWCC women's champions Amani Jones and Victoria Baez-Dilone. Selections for this year's all-star showcase will also be released later.
 
Jersey Mike's Arena continues to be one of the premier venues in the sport, with the venue hosting the 2020 Big Ten Championships and 2019 Final X in recent years. Rutgers finished fifth in national attendance last season, marking the eighth time in nine campaigns the Scarlet Knights finished within the top five nationally and the ninth consecutive year appearing in the top 10.
 
Rutgers produced seven national qualifiers and three Blood Round participants at this year'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.
