Adams State holds a one-point edge over Colorado Mesa, which collects 31 points and three first-place votes. Colorado School of Mines ranks third with 28 points and the remaining first-place vote.
Senior Levi Deaguero represents the Grizzlies on the Preseason All-RMAC Team at 174 pounds. The Commerce City, Colorado, native earns the preseason recognition after receiving Second Team All-RMAC honors in 2025.
