Roman Bravo Young came in as a key recruit in the transition from one generation of PSU wrestlers to the next. Getting the start as a true freshman, he kept up well with the Nittany reputation becoming a staple in the lineup alongside teammates like Bo Nickal and Mark Hall.
Cael Sanderson has secured his name among legends with the work he’s done at the helm for the Lions securing 8 team titles in his 12 seasons, and don’t forget the 2020 tournament got canceled.
