Golden Bear Athletes of the Week for October 27–November 2, 2025, were announced Monday by the WVU Tech Athletic Department. Earning the spotlight this week are sophomore Troy Harris (wrestling) and freshman Ralph Aaron Etaba Ateba (esports).

Etaba Ateba, known in competition as Wreck, delivered a dynamic two-title week for WVU Tech Esports. The freshman from Ijamsville, Maryland, powered the Golden Bears to a 2–0 ECAC Super Smash Bros. Ultimate sweep over Pitt–Johnstown, racking up eight stocks with Ken in Game One, and followed with a 4–0 Street Fighter 6 sweep the next night over Mortis of New England Tech using Terry Bogard. His combined performances across both titles led WVU Tech to a 3–0 esports week.
