Penn State soars through double dual weekend

–Lions beat Drexel and Lehigh handily without Nagao, Barr. 

–Lions are now three wins shy of breaking Oklahoma State’s all-time consecutive dual meet victories record. Can come within one of tying it at Wyoming this weekend. It does not sound like Nagao will be back. Barr could be. Barr/Connor Mirasola vs. Jore Volk is the match of the weekend if it happens. Will the Lions continue to turn to Nasdeo at 141 if no Nagao?

Recruiting

From there, Carr and Pickel dive into the latest recruiting news. Penn State wrestling is on a role in the Class of 2027. It's most recent addition is Indiana junior Clinton Shepherd. He picked the Nittany Lions on Saturday afternoon.

"After a lot of prayer I am proud to announce I’m committing to continue my academic and wrestling career at Penn State University," Shepherd wrote on Instagram.

"Thankful for my family, coaches, and everyone who’s pushed me to get here also god for the guidance to put in my heart where I felt at home for the place I will pursue and chase my goals. Time to work!"

Shepherd is MatScout's No. 6 Class of 2027 recruit. He is the outlet's No. 3 wrestler in the country at 144 pounds. He projects to wrestle somewhere between 157-174 at the next level.

Head coach Cael Sanderson's team made a massive recent surge in this recruitment. The Crown Point High standout put out a top eight in August that included only Iowa State, Cornell, Michigan, Virginia Tech, Indiana, Nebraska, Ohio State, and N.C. State.

Penn State now has verbal commitments in the Class of 2027 from Norwin, Pa., star Landon Sidun, who is No. 2 on MatScout’s 2027 big board, in addition to Ohio star Grey Burnett (No. 4), New York’s Gavin Mangano (No. 8), State College Area’s James Whitbred, and New York two-time state champ William Soto. Soto and Sidun are also wrestlers who look likely to compete in the 125- or 133-pound weight classes. However, projecting college weights at this juncture can sometimes be a bit of a fool’s errand. But, for what it’s worth, Mangano projects in the middle weights and Whitbred in the upper weights.”
