Penn State wrestlers leading the nation in pins

Penn State wrestlers are good at pinning.

So good, in fact, that the Nittany Lions have four wrestlers ranked in the top 10 for the most falls in the NCAA’s most recent award standings for Division I wrestling, released Wednesday.

Junior Jason Nolf leads the nation with 14 pins in 40 minutes, 10 seconds — edging teammate Zain Retherford, who comes in second with 14 pins in 45:07.

Bo Nickal is fifth with 10 falls in 11:03, and Shakur Rasheed is seventh with nine falls in 10:36.

The NCAA presents three awards at the conclusion of each season: most falls, most technical falls and Most Dominant Wrestler.
