Summary
Penn State wrestling Class of 2026 signee Jayden James will compete at the U20 Worlds Championships this weekend in Slovakia. The Delbarton, N.J., standout is the Team USA rep at 74 kilograms (163.1 pounds). He seeks his second age-group World title after winning gold at U17s last summer in Greece. James will take the mat sometime after 4 a.m. ET on Saturday. His first opponent will be Samuel Vokal of Slovakia. The future Penn State wrestler will be heavily favored to win that match. Assuming he does, James would face former Delbarton teammate Alessio Perentin in the Round of 16. The Cornell Class of 2026 signee is Italy's U20 rep after winning its national tournament earlier this year. Whoever wins that match would then face a to-be-determined opponent in the quarterfinals.
