MatScouts released the final Top 10 P4P (Pound For Pound) Rankings for 2025. This ranking is for all high school wrestlers.
Incoming Iowa Wrestling recruit Bo Bassett is #3 and Leo DeLuca is #10.
From Windber, Pennsylvania, Bo wrestles for McCort Bishop and is ranked as the #1 overall recruit in the Class of 2026 and ranked #1 at 145.
Bo won a Pennsylvania state title at 145 lbs. with three tech falls and a pin in the finals.
Bo is the biggest recruit in the country to come out of high school since Spencer Lee in the Class of 2017. He was a 2021 Cadet world champion and won bronze at the 2024 U20 World Championships.
Bo is registered to compete at the Senior U.S. Open in Las Vegas on April 25-26.
DeLuca is from Morristown, New Jersey and competes for national powerhouse Blair Academy.
DeLuca is ranked #1 in the rankings by MatScouts and FloWrestling at 120 lbs.
At the National Prep Tournament DeLuca was 5-0 with three tech falls, a pin and a major decision to win the title at 120.
DeLuca won a Junior National title in 2023 at 120 lbs. and a Cadet National title at 113 in 2021.
Now that the regular season has been completed I will continue to follow all of our incoming recruits on the freestyle circuit.
As I have done for years I will post a blog on Friday for upcoming weekend competitions and a follow up blog with results on my “Recruits in action” series.
