Penn State wrestling show: Breaking down the Lions' 2024-2025 schedule and more
A new Penn State wrestling show from Blue-White Illustrated is now live! The defending NCAA champion Nittany Lions are now just 38 days away from their first dual meet of the season. Host Thomas Frank Carr and reporter Greg Pickel start this week’s episode by breaking down the schedule. From there, they dive into a list of early Hodge Trophy contenders. The show concludes with the latest recruiting news.
Penn State has seven home dates on its regular season schedule. It will wrestle foes at the Bryce Jordan Center. The Lions will make the trek across campus to host Iowa inside of the nearly 16,000-seat venue on Fri., Jan. 31. It will then host Michigan there on Fri., Feb. 7. Did the program make the right call to feature those two opponents at the BJC? Pickel and Carr discuss. They then move onto the Collegiate Wrestlign Duals. On Dec. 22, the Lions will face Binghamton, Little Rock, and Missouri. What will those bouts tell us about head coach Cael Sanderson’s team ahead of the start of Big Ten action in early January? Pickel and Carr discuss that, as well. You can see the full schedule below.
