Big Ten Wrestling Championships 2018: 149-pound preview | Can Penn State's Zain Retherford be beat?

And here come the Penn State hammers.

If Jason Nolf is healthy and able to compete this weekend at the 2018 Big Ten Championships, the Nittany Lions will be able to boast five straight national champions in five consecutive weight classes, starting with top-ranked Zain Retherford at 149 pounds.

It's a strong weight class with several ranked wrestlers, including No. 2 Brandon Sorenson of Iowa, but all of them will be significant underdogs here and at the NCAA Championships in mid-March.

The 2018 Big Ten Championships will be wrestled March 3-4 at the Breslin Center in East Lansing, Michigan.
