Logan Hancey competed at 157 lbs. and finished in 8th place after a tough 12-10 battle for 7th. This match marked Hancey’s first All-American honor, a significant milestone in his career.

Keller Rock made a splash at 165 lbs., taking home 3rd place with a decisive 19-5 victory. Rock wraps up his wrestling career at Embry-Riddle with over 100 wins and is a two-time All-American, having secured 2nd place in 2024 and 3rd in 2025.

Daniil Gorshkov, competing at 174 lbs., entered the tournament as the #9 seed after winning the CCC title. He finished 4th, earning his first All-American recognition. With another year to compete, Gorshkov will aim to improve his standings next season.

Kenneth Copley finished 3rd in the heavyweight (285 lbs) class, securing his spot as a two-time All-American. Copley won his final match with a commanding score of 9-1. Last year, he placed 8th in the same category.

The Eagles are set to graduate two national qualifiers, Jonah Chew and Keller Rock. However, they will return seven others who competed in the National Championships, ready to build on this year’s achievements for the upcoming season.
