Penn State heavyweight Anthony Cassar seeking 6th year of eligibility

UNIVERSITY PARK

Penn State heavyweight Anthony Cassar announced Tuesday afternoon that he’s currently seeking a sixth year of eligibility — to help further his push for the 2020 Olympics and a Mixed Martial Arts career afterward.

Cassar, a redshirt senior, told a handful of reporters before practice that the program has been working on attaining that sixth season via a medical redshirt for about the last year. The New Jersey native redshirted in 2014-2015 and did not compete the next season due to a serious shoulder injury.

Even so, Cassar said he’s not 100 percent committed to the idea of returning just yet.
