Rank	Wrestler	School
1	Mason Jakob	Dobyns Bennett
2	Joseph Uhorchuck	Signal Mountain
3	Zach Little	Summit
4	Jose Cordero	Cleveland
5	Tristan Collier	Green Hill
6	Ace Chittum	Cleveland
7	Ayden Hood	Pigeon Forge
8	Braylan Cosper	Hixson
9	Barrett Whaley	Knox Halls
10	Brodie Melzoni	Nolensville

Reasoning:

The decision to rank Mason Jakob P4P #1 over Uhorchuck was largely based on recent performances. Jakob dominated Beast of the East and made the Super 32 Finals.

Jakob is Ranked 5th Nationally(Flo) at 126 Pounds. With Uhorchuck right behind him at #6(Flo)

Ranking Zach Little over Cordero was another difficult decision, particularly with Cordero pursuing his fourth state title this season. However, Little’s overall dominance last year—teching and pinning his way through the state tournament. Additionally, Little’s 8th-place finish at Beast of the East provided slightly enough separation , in my opinion, to place him at #3.

Note***- While Ace Chittum does not yet have the state titles held by others in the P4P rankings, his overall body of work and level of competition justify his placement. Chittum is currently ranked 16th nationally at 106 lbs (Flo).

Note (2/2/2026)- With Whaley's close decsion win over Melzoni, Whaley enters the P4p rankings
