Ohio State @ Oregon State

Ohio State routed Oregon State 41-3 in Corvallis, OR on January 4, 2026, cruising to a dominant dual victory in the Pac-12 venue. The Buckeyes piled up bonus points throughout the lineup, turning what might have been a competitive matchup on paper into a lopsided final score.

The dual was decided by a string of bonus-point victories. Nic Bouzakis (#5) posted a 19-4 technical fall over Maximo Renteria (#10), and Ben Davino (#2) followed with a 21-4 technical fall that added major momentum for Ohio State. Jesse Mendez (#1) pushed the margin further with a 17-6 major decision over Nash Singleton (#23). The clear turning point came when Brandon Cannon (#1) secured a fall, worth six team points, that effectively put the match out of reach and capped a decisive scoring run for the Buckeyes.

Oregon State’s lone win came late when Justin Rademacher (#5) edged Luke Geog (#10) 8-7 at 197 pounds, the only decision that avoided conceding bonus points to Ohio State. Aside from that tight result, Ohio State’s combination of technical falls, majors, and a pin were the story, with other ranked wrestlers such as Carson Kharchla and Dylan Fishback contributing major decisions to build the cushion.

With bonus-point production in several key bouts and a mid-dual pin that sealed the outcome, Ohio State left Corvallis with a commanding 41-3 road victory.
