READING, Pa. – Men's wrestling is set to return at Albright during the 2025-26 athletic season for the first time since 2006. Today, the program announced their first recruiting class after the reinstatement of the program.

Head coach Kerry Regner is bringing in 31 student-athletes for the 2025-26 50^th anniversary season. "We are bringing in a full roster this fall! All the work of the program, department and school is coming to fruition. I could not have done it alone. I would like to give a lot of credit to admissions to VP Janice Luck and her staff.

This group does not just look to become a part of a newly established program but come with high standards in all walks of life.
