CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – Stanford's Nico Provo was selected as the Atlantic Coast Conference’s 2025-26 Wrestling Scholar-Athlete of the Year and headlines the 2025-26 Wrestling All-ACC Academic Team, announced Wednesday by the league office.
Majoring in science, technology and society, Provo is a three-time National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) Scholar-All-American (2023, 2024 and 2026).
After redshirting last season, Provo had a strong 2025-26 campaign on the mat this year, earning 2026 NCAA All-America honors with a third-place finish at 125 pounds at the 2026 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships. He also finished as the runner-up at 125 pounds at the 2026 ACC Wrestling Championship, earning All-ACC honors. Provo, who also posted a third-place finish at the prestigious Cliff Keen Las Vegas Collegiate Wrestling Invitational in December 2025, went 20–6 overall this season, including a 6–3 record in duals.
Provo is a member of Stanford Professionals in Real Estate (SPIRE), where he engages with industry leaders and alumni to explore trends in real estate investment, development and innovation. He most recently worked as a brokerage intern at CBRE Silicon Valley — the world’s largest commercial real estate firm — from June to August 2025.
