Utah Valley will hold its annual Wrestle-Offs Friday at 7 p.m. in Lockhart Arena, giving fans a free, streamed preview of the team ahead of the 2026-27 season. Ten matchups are scheduled as wrestlers compete for spots in a deep lineup that includes three NCAA qualifiers ranked in preseason polls.

By the Numbers
  • 10 matches are scheduled for Friday’s intrasquad dual.
  • Three Wolverines are ranked in preseason polls: Kael Bennie, Caleb Uhlenhopp and transfer Moses Espinoza-Owens.
  • Utah Valley sent five wrestlers to the NCAA Championships last season; two return.
  • The Wolverines open the season Nov. 1 and host No. 8 Iowa State on Nov. 6.
Yes, But

Friday’s matches offer an early look at the roster, but the intrasquad results are only one step toward determining how the lineup will perform in official competition.

What’s Next

Utah Valley opens its season at the Clarion Open in Pennsylvania on Nov. 1, then hosts Iowa State in its home opener five days later.

Bottom Line

The Wrestle-Offs are a free first look at a team banking on preseason depth and ranked talent to improve on last season.
