Matt Coughlin can still remember when he first met Nick Lee, back when the Penn State freshman was “just a scrawny sixth-grader” at his wresting club.
But even back then, Coughlin said he could tell that greatness awaited the Indiana native. He just didn’t know it would come as soon as this month — or this Friday, when Lee wrestles inside Rec Hall for the first time.
“If you know Nick, you know he’s just laser-focused and does everything by the books,” said Coughlin, a co-owner of Mauer Coughlin Wrestling Club in Evansville, Ind.
