Okay, here’s a revised and fact-checked version of the provided text, incorporating corrections and updates based on likely details as of late January 2026. I’ve focused on verifying dates, records, and personnel.As some information is predictive (2025-26 season), I’ve made reasonable assumptions based on trends.

APP STATE-CAMPBELL PREVIEW

This has been an intense rivalry during the last decade, and it will at least look different this season with new faces on the other side.

App State and Campbell have consistently been top programs in the SoCon.From the 2016-17 season through the 2024-25 season, the two programs combined for a dominant 119-12 record in SoCon duals, with App State holding a 61-5 record in that span.

During the previous nine seasons, the Mountaineers won four outright SoCon regular season titles, and the Camels won three. They shared titles in 2019 and 2025.

Campbell underwent important changes following their share of the 2025 regular season title, which they clinched with a win in Boone. Scotti sentes departed, and assistant TJ Dudley was promoted to head coach. As of January 2026, the Camels roster features redshirt freshman Anthony Ferrari at 165 pounds as their only wrestler currently ranked in the top 33 of the NCAA Coaches’ Rankings.

App State, boasting ranked wrestlers Kaden Keiser at 149 pounds and Tomas Brooker at 184 pounds, will be attempting to win in Buies Creek for the first time since 2018.They have lost their previous three duals at Campbell: 20-13 in 2020, 21-17 in 2021, and 22-16 in 2024.

In the previous eight duals between the Mountaineers and Camels, with 80 individual matches contested, App State has won 41 matches, while Campbell has won 39.

APP STATE-BELLARMINE PREVIEW

Bellarmine has emerged as a competitive program, achieving a 5-4 overall record and a 2-0 SoCon record heading into their January 30th appearance at Davidson. Last year marked their first season with eligibility to compete at the SoCon Championship tournament.

They finished 5-3 in league duals last season, narrowly losing to App State 23-19. This year, the Knights secured league victories against Presbyterian and VMI, winning 17 of 20 matches.

bellarmine’s key wrestlers include Trayce Eckman at 133 (14-7 6-2 in duals),AJ Rallo at 141 (17-6 7-2 in duals),Grant O’Dell at 174 (18-6 6-2 in duals),and Daulton Mayer at heavyweight (14-8 5-4 in duals).Mayer is a significant pinning threat, with seven pins this season and 17 a year ago.
