Defending NCAA Division III national champion at 141 pounds, Kade Blume (So., Roland, Iowa), is scheduled to face reigning NAIA national champion Yoshiya Funakoshi (Sr., Torrance, Calif.) of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.

Blume enters his sophomore season following a historic freshman campaign in which he posted a 25-2 overall record and became the first freshman since 2018 to capture an individual NCAA Division III national championship. He recorded 11 technical falls, five major decisions and three pins during the season.
