BOONE, N.C. — App State Wrestling's
Jarvis Little was named the SoCon Wrestler of the Week following his big victory against NC State.
A redshirt freshman who earned All-America recognition this summer at the U23 Freestyle Nationals and opened this collegiate season with a ranked win during the Southeast Open, Little won a 9-4 decision at 133 pounds against NC State's Zach Redding, a two-time NCAA qualifier who was ranked in the top 20 by some outlets.
After giving up the opening takedown, Little responded with a takedown of his own in the first period and rode out the second period with the score officially tied at 4-all. He moved ahead 5-4 on a third-period escape and sealed the win on a takedown with 22 seconds remaining.
Little is 10-6 this season and now ranked 30th at 133 pounds by Flo.
The 2025-26 season is presented by Hungry Howie's and Penn Station. App State returns to action this week with wrestlers competing at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational and the Patriot Open.
