PSU pulls the top wrestler in country from Minnesota, JROB
- Thread starter Somerset Panther
- Start date
PSU is in town to take on Virginia Tech. #2 vs #6. I won't be able to go, but it should be a packed house and a pretty loud atmosphere. VT wrestling is getting better and better each year, they just don't have the end of year strength to put it together at Nationals.
It was a good match. PSU won 21-15. Big shocker was Nico losing to Dance at 125. Two PSU redshirt freshmen beat higher ranked VT wrestlers, but that isn't a shock. Sanderson redshirted his entire frosh class last year because he didn't think they could win the NCAAs with them, so I am not surprised they have some great redshirt frosh.
VT had a chance during the HWT match where the higher ranked VT wrestler ended up losing. I need to go back and read the match details.
At HW Penn State didn't send out the kid they picked up from the Football team. So VT won by forfeit. The redshirt freshman HW they planned on starting got hurt and is likely out all year, so the football player (who is a 2 time PA state champ) has joined the team. He probably wouldn't have fared well against Ty Waltz from VT. I assume that's why Cael didn't send him out.
