INDIANAPOLIS - SIUE's Marcel Lopez has been added to the field for the 2026 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships in Cleveland.

Lopez, a 133-pounder, joins Caleb Tyus (149) and Brock Woodcock (165), who earned automatic bids from their performance at the Mid-American Conference Championships this past weekend. Lopez enters as an at-large selection with a 25-10 record.

The at-large selections join the 288 student-athletes that qualified through their conference tournament finishes over the weekend. The at-large selections were made by the NCAA Division I Men's Wrestling Committee using the following selection criteria: head-to-head competition, quality wins, results against common opponents, winning percentage, ratings percentage index, coaches ranking and conference tournament finish.

Seeding and brackets for this year's event will be revealed tomorrow during the NCAA Division I Men's Wrestling Championships Selection Show on NCAA.com at 7 p.m. CT.

The Championships get underway March 19-21 at Rocket Arena in Cleveland.
