EAST LANSING, Mich. - Sun Devil Wrestling made noise all day throughout Jenison Field House at the Michigan State Open to begin the 2025-26 season on Saturday.
The Sun Devils' season will roll on as the team is set to compete in the first-ever National Duals in Tulsa, Okla., next week with a $1,000,000 prize on the line. ASU will be one of 16 schools competing in the groundbreaking National Duals Invitational, scheduled to take place on Nov.
The 16-team field reflects both tradition and depth in college wrestling. Cornell, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, NC State, Nebraska, Northern Iowa, Ohio State, Oklahoma State and Virginia Tech earned automatic bids by finishing in the top 12 at the 2025 NCAA Championships.
ASU will be joined by Lehigh, Little Rock, Missouri, and Wyoming, who were randomly selected from programs finishing between 13 and 24.
In addition to world-class competition, the event will feature a record-setting $1 million prize purse - the first of its kind in collegiate wrestling. The champion will claim $200,000, with $150,000 awarded to both the runner-up and third-place teams, and prize money extending through eighth place.
