Any rumors where Lee from PSU ends up next year. He didn't look like a huge 141 pounder but he was pretty long and PSU doesn't tend to have guys cut a ton of weight. I know they have Verkleeren along with some other studs around that weight.

I heard once that he would likely redshirt, but not sure how credible of a source that was. They have several wrestlers that could fill the void. If I were to guess, Brady Berge gets the 149 spot. He was an incredible talent in high school.

It’s very possible Verkleeren never sees the mat for PSU. That’s how loaded they are around these weights.

I'd guess Lewallen will move up to 57 to make room for Gfeller at Okie State, but who knows, they have to fit Chandler Rogers and JoJo Smith in there as well. Someone may just have to ride the bench.

Zander Wick, the twin brother of Evan Wick (3rd @165) tore his labrum in his hip midway thru the year this year. He teched Degen in vegas and will be in the mix.
