This library is general education for wrestling families. It is not legal, eligibility or compliance advice, and RecruitNC and NC Wrestling United are not a governing body and do not speak for one.
The rules are written, interpreted and changed by the NCAA, the NAIA, the NJCAA, the NCHSAA and each college, and they can change during the year. Every section names its source and this page shows when it was last checked (October 13, 2026). Where anything here differs from the governing body's current rule, the governing body's rule controls.
Before any decision that could affect eligibility, a scholarship or a signing - accepting prize money or an NIL deal, taking a visit, committing, signing - confirm the rule with the college's compliance office, your high school athletic director or the governing body itself. A wrestler's own situation can change how a rule applies.
RecruitNC and NC Wrestling United make no guarantee that this information is complete or current and are not responsible for decisions made in reliance on it. If something looks out of date, tell us .
