Renner became an All-American at 157 pounds last season when he took seventh at Nationals. Tweeton is a three-time NCAA qualifier at heavyweight and claimed All-American status in 2024 when he finished 8th.

"What excites me most about this year's team is the energy and mindset our guys bring every day. We've got a young, gritty, and hungry group that's willing to put in the work and embrace the grind. I truly believe this team has taken a step forward, and we're in a stronger position this season than we were last year," head coach Adam Aho said.
