BLACKSBURG, Va. – Led by two individual titles and four more guys on the podium, NC State wrestling finished third with 57 points at the 2026 ACC Wrestling Championship hosted by Virginia Tech on Sunday.
Seven wrestlers for the Pack earned automatic qualification for the 2026 NCAA Wrestling Championships in Cleveland, Ohio, later this month. The group marks the 11th straight season under Popolizio that at least seven NC State wrestlers have earned bids to the national tournament.
Matty Singleton at 174 lbs and Isaac Trumble at 285 lbs each were crowned individual champions at Cassell Coliseum on Sunday night, while six total landed on the podium at third or better in the red-and-white.
Defending his title at 174 lbs, Singleton defeated the No. 7, No. 6, and No. 4 seeds of his bracket to be crowned champion of the weight yet again after winning his first title last year at the 2025 ACC Wrestling Championship in Durham.
Remaining undefeated this season at 16-0, sixth-year senior Trumble earned his first-ever conference title while dominating his No. 5 and No. 2 seed opponents both by major decision in the heavyweight bracket.
The squad turns its focus to the national tournament, which will be at Rocket Arena in Cleveland, Ohio, from March 19-21. NC State returns four All-Americans who will look to get back on the podium to close out their 2025-26 season.
