Penn State wrestling fans can breathe a sigh of relief — Josh Barr’s injury at U23 Worlds isn’t expected to be long-term. Zach Seyko breaks down what happened to Barr, how Connor Mirasola is more than ready to step in at 197, and why Lucas Cochran could factor into heavyweight depth this season. Plus, with Caleb Henson redshirting, Shayne Van Ness becomes the clear NCAA title favorite at 149. And Penn State continues to dominate internationally — Mitchell Mesenbrink brings home gold, while Luke Lilledahl and Levi Haines chase medals at U23 Worlds.
