Jaeden Carolina will continue his wrestling career at Kentucky Wesleyan College in Owensboro. His high school coach, Fort Campbell’s Anthony Shingler, recently announced the decision on social media.
Carolina broke through in the 2025-26 season to earn his first trip to the KHSAA Boys’ State Wrestling Tournament. He finished third at 215 pounds in the Region 1 Tournament, helping the Falcons place fourth as a team — Fort Campbell’s best regional finish in 12 years.
Kentucky Wesleyan wrestles at the NCAA Division II level and competes in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference. The program is currently in its first season under head coach Jacob Lorentz and trains at a dedicated wrestling facility built in 2022.
Carolina will join his Fort Campbell teammate Eithan Cassell at KWC.
