Seidel placed third in the 2026 MAC Championships and fifth at NCAA Regionals at 197 pounds. He finished his stellar first season with a 41-12 record that included six falls and 68 takedowns which accumulated for 175.5 team points across the year.   

Messiah's head coach Bryan Brunk earned MAC Coach of the Year honors for the seventh time in his career. Messiah claimed their fifth MAC men's wrestling title, as the Falcons finished with one individual title, one runner-up finish, and three third-place finishes.
