Penn State wrestling is set to host the Big Ten Wrestling Championships in the Bryce Jordan Center this weekend. Although Cael Sanderson’s squad is heading into the tournament relying on youth, the Nittany Lions will have a good chance to qualify a wrestler in every weight class for the upcoming NCAA Championships to be held March 18-20 in St. Louis.
Here’s how the Nittany Lion grapplers could fare heading into the weekend:
At 125 pounds, true freshman Robert Howard has a shot at being a bracket-buster. Howard is currently listed as the 11th seed at the weight in the final seeds announced on Friday. The young freshman holds a 2-1 record on the year, but he’s someone that you don’t want to wrestle in the opening rounds of the tournament. He opens against No. 6 seed Eric Barnett of Wisconsin. Howard wasn’t cleared to wrestle when the Nittany Lions and Badgers met in February.
