There are big, bulky wrestlers all throughout Penn State's lineup.
But in the Nittany Lions' rout of the Penn on Sunday, it was the team’s smallest wrestler who had the biggest impact.
The Nittany Lions’ illustrious wrestling program has dominated the NCAA for years, winning eight national championships over the past nine seasons.
One of its few weaknesses, however, has been its struggle to find a dependable 125-pound wrestler to compete in its lightest weight class, as the team hasn’t had a victory over a ranked wrestler in that class since 2017.
But in its 33-7 victory over Penn on Sunday, the Nittany Lions may have found the solution to that problem.
