2026-27 Men's Wrestling Season Preview

ALMA, Mich. – The Alma College men's wrestling program is optimistic to prove the doubters wrong this season and improve drastically behind a young, up-and-coming core.
 
Athletes to Watch
Sophomore Dominic Gumtow was an All-MIAA standout in 2025-26 and was responsible for more than a quarter (32.9%) of the team's points scorer last year with 74-of-225, going 18-5 in his bouts for a team-best 78.3% win percentage while going undefeated in the conference (4-0) at 141 pounds.
 
Sophomore Cayden Bell, who also is a short-yardage / goal line running back, took the league by storm in his first collegiate campaign, becoming the first Scot to compete in the NCAA Championships since 2019 courtesy of six pins, four decisions plus a tech fall to claim 35 points and an 11-7 (61.1%) overall record.
 
Seniors Jushawn Ferrel Jr. and Luke Martin bring a veteran presence to the mats as the duo both collected 16 wins and 34 points apiece for Coach Groeneveld whereas Junior Paul Wilson contributed a 19-16 mark (54.3%) including nine falls.
 
Road Ahead
The Maroon and Teal will make the Merillat Sport & Fitness Center its home away from home in 2026-27 as they are scheduled to compete at Adrian four separate times, beginning with the season opening tournament, the Adrian Invite, on Saturday morning.
