Dream Team Dual: 2015 vs 2025

It's always fun to look back at previous Dream Teams and see how they would have stacked up against current Dream Teams. In the hypothetical 2015 vs 2025 Dream Team dual, there is a lot of firepower, including All Americans Myles Amine and Logan Massa, as well as NCAA qualifiers Dom LaJoie, Ben Freeman, Dresden Simon, Kanen Storr, and Nate Limmex. The 2015 team would be tough to beat, but the 2025 team is also loaded, with over half the team either placing at Fargo, finishing on the podium at Super 32, or being nationally ranked (Blake Cosby, Jackson Blum, Jarrett Smith, Wyatt Lees, Nicholas Sorrow, Grayson Fuchs, Jay'Den Williams, Connor Bercume, and Gavin Craner).

Our match of the dual would be at 160lbs (or 165lbs, using today's weights). Myles Amine was a 2x D1 state champ for Detroit Catholic Central, and he won a Senior national championship in the Spring. He would go on to be the only 5x All American in Michigan history, and he took home an Olympic bronze medal in 2021. He would see Jay'Den Williams of Roseville, who is one of the most dynamic wrestlers in the country. He has multiple Fargo All American honors to his name, and he was a Grappler Fall Classic finalist at a loaded weight.

103/106 - Pilow Swab (Stevensville Lakeshore), SO vs Mike Mars (Westland John Glenn), FR

Swab finished the season as the D2 state champ in a loaded weight a year after taking 5th. He also took 5th this past September at the Grappler Fall Classic. During the season, Swab was a finalist at the Grappler Gold Invitational (up a weight), and he won a really tough SMAC conference championship. 

Mars had a breakout freshman campaign winning the D1 title with a 51-2 final record.  He avenged his two in-season losses in the state semifinal and finals, and he also shined nationally winning the Grappler Fall Classic in October.

112/113 - Jarrett Smith (Lowell), JR vs Dom Lajoie (Gaylord), SO

The Red Arrow just won his second straight D2 state championship, and he did so in dominant fashion, going 42-3 on the season. In the preseason, Smith finished 3rd at the Grappler Fall Classic, and he bonused his way through the Grappler Gold Invitational to kick off the regular season. 

Lajoie won his 2nd straight D2 title knocking off previously unbeaten Austin Franco in the finals.  He finished the year 37-2 with his losses coming up at 119 and he shined in the off-season finishing runner up in Cadet Greco at Fargo, winning the JJ Classic in the fall, and earning All-American honors at Preseason Nationals.

119/120 - Wyatt Lees (Detroit CC), JR vs Logan Griffin (Erie Mason), SR

Lees continued his quest for four D1 state titles, winning his third this year for the Shamrocks. Lees went 39-5 on the year, with 4 of those losses coming to nationally ranked out-of-state competition. Lees won the extremely tough Catholic Central Invite, and he was a finalist at the Carnahan Memorial Invite in Indiana. The Shamrock racked up 21 falls this year, which is impressive in a brutal schedule. 

Griffin was a perfect 42-0 while winning his 3rd Division 4 State Title including a huge win over nationally ranked D3 Champ Devin Schroder during the regular season. The MSU commit also earned All American honors at the GFC this fall.

125/126 - Nicholas Sorrow (Hudson), JR vs Ben Freeman (Walled Lake Central), SO

The Hudson Tiger won his third straight state title, staying on pace to make history with 8 state titles (4 team and 4 individual). During the season, Sorrow bonused his way through the Grappler Gold Invitational and Catholic Central Invite. He also pinned and teched his way through the state tournament, making him one of the most dominant wrestlers in the state.

Freeman’s sophomore season was just as impressive as his freshman campaign. He won his 2nd straight Division 1 state title in dominant fashion going unbeaten on the season (44-0). Additionally, he earned All-American honors at Super 32 and Junior Folkstyle Nationals with a pair of 7th place finishes.

130/132 - Jackson Blum (Lowell), SR vs Dresden Simon (Dansville), JR

Jackson Blum joins elite company as one of the few wrestlers to win 8 state championships (4 team and 4 individual). Blum is the 40th wrestler to win his 4th individual MHSAA championship, and he is only the 7th wrestler to win all 4 team and individual titles. Blum also made history as the only wrestler in Michigan history to go 16-0 in his four MHSAA appearances with all 16 wins by tech or pin. On the national scene, Blum has done it all. He is both a Junior Freestyle All American, and he has placed at the prestigious Super 32 tournament. The Red Arrow will take his talents to Bloomington this Fall to compete for the Indiana Hoosiers.

Simon was a perfect 58-0 during the season en route to the D4 State Title.  A huge in-season win over 135lb Dream Teamer Kanen Storr and a 4th place finish at the GFC last fall made him a lock for the 130lb top spot.

135/138 - Jace Morgan (Rochester Adams), SR vs Kanen Storr (Leslie), JR

Morgan was unblemished this year, going 43-0 en route to his first state championship. During the season, Morgan won the Oakland County Championships and cruised through the Catholic Central Invite. He will follow in his dad’s footsteps as he will wrestle for Michigan State in the Fall. 

Storr continued to shine in-state and out-of-state in his Junior year.  He won his 2nd Division 3 State Title with a pair of in-season wins over D2 Champ Jaedin Slapsky who was 3rd at Senior Nationals.  He also beat D1 champ Lincoln Olson at Super 32 and won his 2nd straight GFC in the preseason.

140/144 - Grayson Fuchs (Detroit CC), SO vs Nate Limmex (Grand Rapids CC), SR

The Sophomore won his second state title for Detroit CC, this time at 144lbs. Fuchs was dominant this year, going 43-2 on the season. Fuchs cruised through the state tournament, picking up 3 techs and a 14-2 major decision in the finals. The Shamrock won every tournament he entered this season, including the Carnahan Memorial Invite (IN) and the prestigious Catholic Central Invite.

Limmex was 44-0 en route to his 3rd straight D3 State Title.  He beat D2 champ Austin Thompson during the season and in the GFC Finals and was also 3rd at the Super 32 Challenge, making him a shoe-in for 1st Team Honors for the 2nd straight year.

145/150 - Blake Cosby (Dundee), JR vs Foster Karmon (Grand Rapids CC), JR

Our #1 wrestler in the Class of 2026 had another outstanding season. Already committed to the University of Michigan, Cosby took 5th in Fargo in Junior Freestyle, and he followed that up with a runner-up finish at Super 32s. During the season, Cosby was equally as impressive. He was undefeated, walking through the Grappler Gold Invitational, Catholic Central Invite, Carnahan Memorial Invitational (IN), Brecksville Invitational Holiday Tournament (OH), and the Hudson Super 16. 

Despite moving up 4 weights this year Karmon was sensational, going a perfect 30-0 on his way to the D3 state title with an in-season win over D1 Champ Dillon Ellsworth.  He was also runner-up at the GFC this fall.

152/157 - Braylenn Aulbach (Rockford), SR vs Blake Montrie (Bedford), JR

The Rockford Ram led his team to the quarterfinals in Kalamazoo this year a week before winning his first individual state title. Aulbach went 49-2 on the year, earning 28 pins and 13 tech falls along the way. He was a Kent County champ, and he was impressive in a run to the Catholic Central Invite finals. 

Montrie was 47-1 en route to the Division 1 State Title in his breakout junior campaign for the Mules with his lone loss coming to 2x Ohio State champ Kaleb Romero.

160/165 - Jay'Den Williams (Roseville), JR vs Myles Amine (Detroit CC), SR

Williams just put together one of the most dominant seasons in recent memory. Williams went 53-0 on the season, with no match lasting 6 minutes. He picked up 49 techs, 2 pins, and 2 forfeits en route to his first state title. Even more impressive than his 49 techs is the fact that 39 of them came in the first period. Before the season, Williams made a run to the Grappler Fall Classic finals, and he added to his list of All American honors in Fargo. 

UM bound Amine was spotless all year, going 47-0 en route to his 2nd straight D1 title with a major decision win over 4x D3 champ Devin Skatza during the season.  He also capped it off with a NHSCA Senior National Title this spring.

171/175 - Kole Katschor (Dundee), SR vs Logan Massa (St. Johns), SR

Katschor had an impressive Grappler Fall Classic tournament before the season, taking 3rd in an extremely tough weight up at 189lbs. During the season, Katschor won the Grappler Gold Invitational, Carnahan Memorial Invitational, and Hudson Super 16. He also made the finals at the Catholic Central Invite, and he was 6th at the Brecksville Invitational Holiday Tournament 

Logan Massa won his 3rd straight Division 2 State Title in his Senior season with a perfect 37-0 record.  In addition, he was runner-up in Fargo the previous summer and finished the season ranked #3 in the country at 170lbs and the #5 pound for pound high school wrestler in the nation according to FloWrestling.  In the summer heading into his Senior year, Massa was also a FILA Junior National Champion, knocking off many big name collegiate wrestlers.

189/190 - Gavin Craner (Whitehall), SR vs Jared Roehl (Millington), SO

Craner won his 2nd state title in his 3rd trip to the finals. The Viking went a perfect 60-0 during the season, which included 49 pins and 6 techs. Only his state finals match went the full 6 minutes, and he was dominant in an 11-0 major decision in that match. Craner will head to Mt. Pleasant to wrestle for the Chippewas this Fall. 

Roehl was spotless in his sophomore season going 49-0 en route to the D3 title, knocking off fellow sophomore stud Chase Beard in the finals and also notching an impressive major decision win over D4 runner-up Caleb Symons during the season.

215 - Connor Bercume (Detroit CC), SR vs Josh Colegrove (Lowell), SR

The Shamrock is back on the first team again this year after winning his 3rd state championship. Before the season, Bercume bonused his way through the Grappler Fall Classic to win his second straight championship. Going a perfect 49-0 during the season, Bercume amassed 26 pins and 10 techs during the season. The Shamrock won the Carnahan Memorial Invitational and Catholic Central Invite. Impressively, Bercume picked up bonus points throughout the entire postseason. 

Colegrove was undefeated en route to his 2nd straight Division 2 State Title scoring a pair of wins over D1 Champ Luke Ready during the season as well as impressive wins over D1 Runner-Up Antonio Balabani, and 3rd place finishers Landon Pelham and Nick Giese.
