Keiser Wrestling announced its 2025-26 schedule on Monday. This year's slate will feature 15 contests, including five duals and six open tournaments, beginning with the Pepsi Patriot Open on November 1st.

Entering his second season at the helm, Head Coach Cole Manion shared his excitement for the year ahead:

"The 2025-2026 season is one that I'm really excited for. I think we travel further than any other team in the country but that's because we're trying to seek out the best competition in the country. This is going to get us battle tested for the postseason and we'll be ready. We have a bunch of young and extremely talented ground of young men and I'm really looking forward to seeing how they do this year"

Last year, the Seahawks finished 2-4 in duals during Head Coach Cole Manion's first season at the helm. Jett McCauley made history by becoming the first Seahawk to win an Open, taking first place at the Pepsi Patriot. At the AAC conference tournament, both McCauley and Miguel Hernandez earned bids to the National Tournament, finishing 2-2 and narrowly missing All-American honors. This year, the Seahawks aim to build on last season's foundation, returning 13 wrestlers and adding 20 newcomers to the roster.
