'He's a beast': Penn State wrestling’s Nick Lee primed for strong postseason

Anytime Nick Lee has stepped on the mat this season, there's been pressure on him.

Pressure to prove that he's one of the nation's preeminent 141-pounders after back-to-back fifth place finishes, the standard issue pressure which comes with donning a blue and white Penn State singlet week after week, or even the pressure to rise above the fray and standout in a lineup with stars like Mark Hall and Vincenzo Joseph.

And yet, in spite of the unrelenting pressure he's under to succeed, Lee has managed to handle it with relative ease, compiling an 18-0 record with five ranked wins over Big Ten opponents, four top-10 wins and 15 bonus point wins.
