Penn State Wrestling heads to the U.S. Open with major representation from the Nittany Lion Wrestling Club, but the biggest headline is that PJ Duke and Mitchell Mesenbrink are not in the field. This episode breaks down the biggest Penn State storylines, matchups, seeds, and bracket questions heading into one of the most important freestyle events of the spring. Host Zach Seyko goes weight by weight through Luke Lilledahl at 57 kg, Marcus Blaze at 61 kg, Nate Desmond at 65 kg, Tyler Kasak at 70 kg, Joe Seely at 74 kg, William Henckel at 79 kg, Kyle Dake and Rocco Welsh at 86 kg, Josh Barr at 92 kg, Connor Mirasola at 97 kg, and Cole Mirasola at heavyweight. I also touch on U20 names like Jaden James, Asher Cunningham, Brock Weiss, and Mason Ellis as Penn State continues to show serious depth across the U.S. Open field. Become an every-dayer!
