BOONE, N.C. — For the second straight week, an App State wrestler has been named the SoCon Wrestler of the Week.
Kaden Keiser is this week's honoree, following recognition last weekend for
Jarvis Little.
A redshirt junior from Winner, S.D., Keiser finished among the final 12 wrestlers at 149 pounds at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational, which is among the most difficult regular season tournaments in college wrestling.
Keiser's 2-2 record in Las Vegas included a major decision against a ranked opponent. Keiser won 14-6 against No. 33 Paul Kelly from Cal Baptist and also won an 8-6 decision against Edinboro's Ryan Michaels. His two losses were against wrestlers ranked No. 14 and No. 24 in the country.
Keiser is 15-7 this season and 63-30 in his App State career.
The 2025-26 season is presented by Hungry Howie's and Penn Station. The Mountaineers' next event is a dual scheduled for Dec. 17 at Duke.
