Penn State Wrestling’s Depth Chart: Who Will Step Up This Season?

University Park, PA – The Penn State Nittany Lions wrestling team is known for its incredible depth and talent, and this season is no exception.

One of the biggest questions facing Penn State this season is who will step up and fill the void left by graduated wrestlers. The Nittany Lions lost several key starters from last year’s team, including NCAA champions Roman Bravo-Young and Nick Lee.

However, Penn State has a wealth of talented wrestlers waiting in the wings. Redshirt freshmen like Alex Facundo and Shayne Van Ness are expected to make an immediate impact, while returning starters like Beau Bartlett and Carter Starocci will look to build on their already impressive resumes.

“We’ve got a lot of talented wrestlers on our team, and we’re excited to see who will step up and make a name for themselves this season,” said Penn State head coach Cael Sanderson. “
