Will Penn State Wrestling Withstand a Final Portal Surge? US Open Preview

Penn State wrestlers start the freestyle season this weekend in Las Vegas. More than 10 members of the Nittany Lion Wrestling Club, including many who are also on the current team, will compete in the senior men's freestyle division at the US Open on Friday and Saturday to try and claim a spot at Final X, which is the event that ultimately sets this year's Team USA that will compete at Senior Worlds later this year. One Nittany Lion is already qualified for Final X, of course. By virtue of being a World medalist in 2025, Levi Haines is already in the 79-kilogram best-of-three finals. He will face the winner of that bracket this weekend in June.  As for the Penn State connected wrestlers trying to join Haines in New Jersey at Final X in June, we have a full breakdown below.
