As a scholastic wrestler at Bergen Catholic, Nick Suriano was 159-0 and won four state championships. After high school he opted to go to Penn State to wrestle for the legendary Cael Sanderson. As a freshman last season, Suriano went 16-3, but did not wrestle in the NCAA tournament after being injured in he first round of the Big Ten tournament.
And according to reports, he’s been working out this summer with the Scarlet Knights Wrestling Club....in New Brunswick...in the Rutgers wrestling room.
Flowrestling, on its FRL podcast, has been talking about the fact that Suriano has not been on campus in Happy Valley, has not been taking any summer classes, and that, in fact, Sanderson has been in New Jersey re-recruiting, if you will, his star 125-pounder.
