Penn State Wrestling is no longer just dominating the NCAA — it’s taking over the world. In this episode, host Zach Seyko breaks down how the Nittany Lions have become the backbone of Team USA’s U20 and U23 World Teams, and how their collegiate lineup is essentially the U.S. national team.

From elite returning stars like Mitchell Mesenbrink, Levi Haines, and Josh Barr to rising phenoms like PJ Duke, Marcus Blaze, and the Mirasola twins, Penn State is redefining college wrestling. Plus, Zach highlights two underrated commits — William Henckel and Jayden James — who just made huge statements at the U20 World Team Trials. Is this the greatest recruiting run ever?
