Andrew Barbosa

Andrew Barbosa is a dangerous 165-pounder who already owns a Big Ten upset and proved he can hang with top-tier talent

Barbosa looks like a tough, high-upside fit for Rutgers at 165, with a season résumé that includes a 3-2 win over Joey Blaze, handing the then-No. 2 wrestler his first loss, and a 4-3 run to a sixth-place finish at the 2025 Big Ten Championships. He is the kind of wrestler who can turn tight matches with grit and composure, making him more valuable than raw record alone suggests. If your team wants a battler who can create upset potential and score in pressure spots, Barbosa is worth serious attention.
