This library is general education for wrestling families. It is not legal, eligibility or compliance advice, and RecruitWrestlers is not a governing body and does not speak for one.

The rules are written, interpreted and changed by the NCAA, the NAIA, the NJCAA, the NCHSAA and each college, and they can change during the year. Every section names its source and this page shows when it was last checked (October 13, 2026). Where anything here differs from the governing body's current rule, the governing body's rule controls.

Before any decision that could affect eligibility, a scholarship or a signing - accepting prize money or an NIL deal, taking a visit, committing, signing - confirm the rule with the college's compliance office, your high school athletic director or the governing body itself. A wrestler's own situation can change how a rule applies.
