Penn State has three generational wrestlers — PJ Duke, Marcus Blaze, and Masanosuke Ono — entering the program… and nowhere to start them.
In this episode, Zach Seyko and Jeff Byers debate whether all three should redshirt in 2025 and break down how Cael Sanderson might manage a stacked Nittany Lions lineup without losing key pieces to the transfer portal.
Also: Why Tyler Kasak vs PJ Duke might be the toughest call yet… Ono’s eligibility issue and how Penn State could win more than 1 year of folkstyle… Mitchell Mesenbrink vs David Carr: Why it’s now the best rivalry in wrestling… And why even national title contenders might not start for PSU this year.
