I made a spreadsheet with the WIN magazine data and came up with the following:
Here are the Categories: 2025 NCAA qualifiers, 2025 All-Americans, Former NCAA champs & Former All-Americans.
Further subdivided by: Win, Dec, Major, Tech, Fall, Def & Bonus (for 7)
And by each of those divided by Wins for: Dec %, Major %, Tech, Fall %, Def % & Bonus % (for 6 and a total of 13)
That gives us 52 possible points (4 x 13) whoever all are not filled as in, no one had a fall against a Former Nation Champion, etc... (In case of a tie I gave ½ point)
Mitchell Mesenbrink had 2 Count wins and 3 Percentage wins for 5 Total
Carter Starocci had 5 Count wins and 5 Percentage wins for 11 Total
Wyatt Hendrickson had 10 Count wins and 6 Percentage wins for 16 Total
Wyatt doubled CS’s Count and won the Percentage by one and had 5x MM’s Count and doubled his Percentage. It’s pretty obvious who had the best year and was the most dominating.
I hope all my numbers are correct by even if they are off by 25% Wyatt is the clear winner.
Addendum: Add the two PSU (per split vote) and it's 10 to 7 on Count and 6 to 8 on Percent. That's still a one point win.
