Penn State's Nick Suriano injured, but keeping off the mat is nearly impossible, NJ coach says

Nick Suriano will be at the Big Ten Championships.

Whether or not the New Jersey high school legend and Penn State star wrestles next weekend in Bloomington, Ind. is a bigger secret.

Suriano injured his left ankle -- Penn State coach Cael Sanderson originally called it a sprain in need of a X-Ray but has been tight-lipped since -- when he was forced to forfeit the 125-pound match of Sunday's NWCA National Dual Championship Series title match. The Nittany Lions beat Oklahoma State, anyway.

The Daily Collegian reported that Suriano was seen on campus with crutches and a full air cast and Sanderson shared limited information Wednesday night on his radio show.
