SPARTANBURG, S.C. – App State’s Will Miller (165) and Gardner-Webb's T.K. Davis (133) have been named the Southern Conference Wrestler and Freshman of the Year, respectively, by the league’s nine head coaches, the conference office announced Thursday. 

Coaches, who were not allowed to vote for their own student-athletes, also selected a 10-member all-conference squad and a 10-member all-freshman team. 
 

Miller posted a 19-1 record this season, going undefeated in SoCon duals (8-0) to become the fourth Mountaineer to win the honor in five seasons. The 165-pounder from Helena, Alabama, is ranked seventh in the NCAA in the 165-pound weight class, according to Intermat. A two-time NCAA qualifier (2023 and 2024), Miller also made the all-conference team and will be the No. 1 seed in his weight class this Friday at the SoCon Wrestling Championship.  

App State collected two all-conference honors and put four wrestlers on the all-freshman team. Joining Miller on the all-conference squad was Luke Uliano (174). Jeremiah Price (157), Stephan Monchery (HWT), Aldo Hernandez (141), and Logan Eller (184) were named to the all-freshman team. Uliano went 21-7 this season and was 8-0 in conference matches, earning SoCon Wrestler of the Week distinction on Jan. 22. Price went 25-9 overall with a 7-1 mark in SoCon duals. Monchery went 16-9 on the season, and 7-1 in conference duals, tallying a total eight of pins. Hernandez went 18-12 overall, and Eller had a 14-9 record overall. 

Davis went 21-6 overall with an 8-1 conference record in his first season with the Runnin’ Bulldogs. The Rockmart, Georgia, native finished the regular season with seven pins. Davis, who is also a member of the all-freshman team, was named SoCon Wrestler of the Week on Dec. 18. The redshirt freshman is the No. 1 seed in 133-pound weight class headed into this week’s conference championship.  

Along with Davis, teammate Todd Carter (141) represents Gardner-Webb on the all-conference team. Carter went 7-1 in SoCon duals, and 17-3 overall.
