WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The Big Ten Conference revealed the dual opponents for Purdue Wrestling's upcoming 2025 schedule on Tuesday afternoon.
Head coach Tony Ersland's team will once again wrestle eight league matches with four hosted in Holloway gymnasium. Dates, times and television designations will be announced closer to the start of the season.
The Boilermakers will see Nebraska, Northwestern, Maryland and rivals Indiana come to West Lafayette while traveling to duals at Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois and Ohio State. The Buckeyes and the Terrapins are the new faces on the schedule this year as the conference made some minor changes to their scheduling process, last facing those two teams in 2021 and 2023 respectively. It will be the first time since the 2017-18 season that Iowa is not on the docket.
Ersland brings back eight regular starters from last seasons lineup in 2023 All-American Matt Ramos (125), NCAA qualifiers Greyson Clark (141), Joey Blaze (157), Stoney Buell (165), and Brody Baumann (175), Big Ten placewinner Dustin Norris (133), James Rowley (184) and Ben Vanadia (197). Key contributors from last season Ike Ruble (now 149) and Hayden Filipovich (now 285) are expected to take big steps forward for the 2024-25 slate as well.
The non-conference schedule for the Boilermakers gets underway on November 1 with a dual against Gardner-Webb. Announcements pertaining to wrestle-offs and the conference slate are expected in the coming weeks.
