Wrestling is back! And because of some re-zoning of Rec Hall, there’s opportunities for new season ticket holders, like yours truly, and I couldn’t be more excited.
There’s more unknowns this season than last, with Nick Lee leaving the lineup after his second consecutive national title. But that doesn’t mean there are NO knowns - the Nittany Lions are returning four national title winners from last year’s team to the lineup in two time champs Roman Bravo-Young, Carter Starocci, and Aaron Brooks, and last year’s champ at 197 Max Dean. PSU also returns presumptive title contender Greg Kerkvliet, whose path to the finals is much clearer this year due to his own prowess and the exhaustion of eligibility of Hodge Trophy winner Gable Steveson (and, to a lesser degree, Tony Cassioppi).
