Arizona Wrestling • Updated October 13, 2026
2026-27 Boys Rankings
Updated individual rankings across all four AIA divisions after the 2026 Who’s Unstoppable Preseason, using verified current weights, placements and returning AIA results.
Independent rankings: These are Arizona Wrestling editorial rankings, not official AIA rankings. The February 2026 AIA state tournament remains the primary résumé baseline; verified October Who’s Unstoppable results are used for current weight evidence, recent performance and head-to-head context. Wrestlers are moved only when the evidence is strong enough to support the change. October 13 update: Edan Codington (Notre Dame Prep) added at #5 in Division 2 at 138 lbs based on a trusted coach report supplied to Arizona Wrestling. Nixon Dayao (Perry) added at #6 in Division 1 at 113 lbs and Acelin Leinweber (Desert Vista) added at #6 in Division 1 at 126 lbs after review of supplied 18-and-under results. Tournament brackets used 115 and 128 lbs respectively; these high-school ranking weights remain provisional pending season-weight confirmation.
