Trent Hidlay Runs Folkstyle/Freestyle Weekend Gauntlet | Wolfpack Insider
Two days after helping NC State win a dual against Army, Trent Hidlay secured a spot in the Olympic Trials by winning the Bill Farrell International

In those duals, NC State’s current 10 starters went a combined 48-3 in their matches. Starting the season at #3 in the preseason NWCA Coaches Poll, the Pack has moved up to #2 behind only Penn State.

#5 Daniel Zepeda Commits To NC State, Embraces Huge Junior Year Challenge
Daniel Zepeda, the #5 commit in the class of 2025, has committed to NC State before competing in one of the nation’s toughest high school weight classes
Daniel Zepeda, the #5 recruit in the class of 2025, has made his college commitment. The Gilroy, California middleweight will be heading to NC State after finishing his high school career in 2025. Zepeda’s college commitment isn’t the only decision he’s made though, he’s planning to move up to 150 lbs for his junior season to enter a CIF bracket that could be the toughest high school weight in the country.
Zepeda is a highly coveted recruit. He followed up a Fargo finals performance this summer with a Who’s Number One victory over Bo Bassett at 138 lbs this fall. He won a state title in the ever-challenging single-class California State Championships this spring as well.
