Mesenbrink posted a 2-0 record in his first collegiate season in the 165-pound weight class after being ranked the No. 12 recruit for the class of 2022. The Wisconsin native moved home in December 2022 before entering the transfer portal in March.
Aside from college wrestling, Mesenbrink took home the silver medal at the 2022 U20 World Championships, with the loss coming from Kanan Heybatov of Azerbaijan.
Mesenbrink notably beat now-fellow teammate Levi Haines twice in the US Team Trials to solidify his spot in the tournament.
