BOONE, N.C. — App State Wrestling standout
Tomas Brooker has been named the SoCon Wrestler of the Week.
Brooker's 4-1 weekend at 184 pounds included two Wranglemania dual victories, plus a 19-5 major decision against No. 14 Jake Dailey from NC State at the Journeymen Collegiate Classic.
Brooker, whose only loss of the weekend in Bethlehem, Pa., was to No. 16 Mikey Dellagatta from Cornell, started the weekend with a 15-0 tech fall in a dual against Hofstra on Saturday. His 10-7 overtime win against Lock Haven's Cole Bartram in the next dual Saturday gave App State a 14-12 lead in a 20-12 victory against the Bald Eagles, who received votes in the preseason top 25 poll.
Brooker went 2-1 in his Journeymen Collegiate Classic matches Sunday and is 8-2 this season. He is now ranked 16th in his weight class by Intermat and 17th by FloWrestling.
App State's 2026-27 season is presented by Hungry Howie's and Penn Station. App State hosts the Mountaineer Invitational in Varsity Gym on Sunday, and wrestlers from several top-20 teams are expected to compete.
