Finally, we learn when we’ll get to see the Nittany Lions compete in a Division 1 competition.
It’s January 16, at Rutgers!
This date is meaningful, in that the deadline for PSU Spring semester registration is January 12. This means that Nittany Lion wrestlers who had been considering using either an NCAA or Olympic Redshirt this season (after the pandemic, but before the NCAA granted a free eligibility year to all athletes for all 2021 sports season) can be fully registered/enrolled/eligible for this free-eligibility season. Look for guys like Nick Lee & Greg Kerkvliet to join the full roster, whenever it also finally gets released, and for PSU to roll out its fullest Death Star Lineup, as it pursues its 5th straight team National Championship.
