The collegiate wrestling world is buzzing with a major transfer portal move. Vince Robinson, the reigning 2025 NCAA champion at 125 pounds for NC State, has announced he will be entering the transfer portal with two years of eligibility remaining.
Robinson shared the news in a heartfelt social media post, expressing deep gratitude for his time with the Wolfpack. "Being able to wrestle in an NC State singlet has been a privilege & a journey that I will forever love & be grateful for," he wrote, thanking the coaches, his teammates, and the fanbase for their support in helping him achieve a childhood dream.
This decision marks a significant shift for one of the sport's top talents. Robinson, a two-time All-American, put together a stellar 23-3 record in the 2024-25 season, culminating in an NCAA title victory over Oklahoma State's Troy Spratley. His championship run was a testament to resilience, as he battled back through the consolation bracket after an early loss, securing critical wins to ultimately claim the crown.
With a 44-9 overall collegiate record, Robinson now looks to a new chapter. The focus for any elite athlete is continuous improvement and legacy, and his statement, "I gotta go do it again," signals a fierce determination to defend his title—just from a different campus. For wrestling fans and apparel enthusiasts alike, his next move will be one to watch, as he seeks to add another championship to his resume while donning new colors.
