BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Campbell heavyweight and All-American Taye Ghadiali has been selected to participate in the 2024 NWCA All-Star Classic on Saturday, November 16, held at Rec Hall on the campus of Penn State.

The event, presented by Nike, will begin at 7:00 p.m. (ET) and can be viewed live on FloWrestling. Ghadiali, who is currently ranked No. 7 on InterMat, will be facing off against No. 3 ranked Nick Feldman from Ohio State. Feldman was named an All-American last year as a redshirt freshman, finishing in fifth place at the NCAA Championships.

Ghadiali becomes the second Campbell wrestler to be selected to take part in the All-Star Classic. Nathan Kraisser (2014-17) became the first to do so during his senior season. He defeated Missouri's Barlow McGhee in a 3-2 decision. The two Camels are also the only wrestlers to be named NCAA All-Americans in program history.

Taye Ghadiali

"I'm just thankful, and I give all the glory to God. It shows my hard work has been paying off through all the years. Now, it's not just me who knows who I am, but the whole world is starting to know. I'm just thankful to wrestle and show my talents to the world."

"My biggest step forward in my wrestling I would say is having faith, and it's not in myself but in something bigger than me. When I'm out on that mat, and I'm struggling, I know who is giving me my strength, I know who woke me up today. So, it's a sense of knowing that it's not me but someone else is guiding me."
