With an ankle injury to Jered Cortez at 141 pounds, Penn State coach Cael Sanderson said Monday he wouldn’t rule out pulling the redshirt off true freshman Nick Lee.
Sanderson declined to offer details of Cortez’s injury, saying only, “I don’t think it’s season ending. It just depends on how quickly he recovers.” Cortez was seen in a walking boot over the weekend, however, and is not expected to return in the near future.
That leaves Sanderson with a decision to make at 141.
He could opt for Luke Gardner, who’s currently listed at 149 and will likely have to cut weight.
