“I am happy for Ki and his family,” Fort Campbell wrestling head coach Anthony Shingler said. “I know how much he really wanted to find the right fit for him and I think WJU is, after doing my own research on the school.”

Ryder plans to sign his Letter of Intent during the NLI Signing Dates which begin November 13.
