FIRST COACHES' RANKINGS OF SEASON RELEASED

INDIANAPOLIS— Nine South Dakota State wrestlers are ranked in the top 33 of their respective weight classes in the first coaches' rankings for the 2025 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships.

The coaches' rankings are determined by a vote of 16 coaches in each weight class, with two head coaches from each of the eight conferences. For ranking purposes, coaches may only consider a wrestler designated as a starter at a respective weight class. Wrestlers must have eight Division I matches in the weight class to be considered, with at least one within the last 30 days.

Bennett Berge leads the way for the Jackrabbits, ranked No. 6 in the country at 184 pounds. Berge is 17-4 this year with an 8-3 dual record and six ranked wins.

Drake Rhodes is the other Jackrabbit ranked in the top 10 of his division coming in at No. 9 at 165 pounds. The redshirt sophomore transfer from Iowa is 17-3 this year with a dual record of 5-1. Rhodes' most recent action was his 3-0 showing at the Rider Quad Duals.

Four Jackrabbits are between 10th and 20th in their respective divisions:
Tanner Jordan, 13th at 125 pounds (17-4 record)
Cobe Siebrecht, 19th at 157 pounds (6-4 record)
Cade DeVos, 11th at 174 pounds (12-5 record)
Zach Glazier, 16th at 197 pounds (7-4 record)

Completing the rankings were Derrick Cardinal (15-9), coming in at No. 26 at 133 pounds, Julian Tagg (11-7) at No. 23 at 141 pounds, and Luke Rasmussen (14-6) at No. 25 at 285 pounds.

The next Coaches' rankings will be released on Thursday, February 13. The 2025 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships take place March 20-22 at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia as the event returns for the first time since 2011.
