How Jayden James Fits Penn State Wrestling
With the Class of 2025 having wrestlers smaller and larger than his current weight, there seems to be an opening for James to fill some spots left open after wrestlers like Tyler Kasak and Mitchell Mesenbrink move up or on in their wrestling careers.
Penn State currently only has one commit for the class of 2026 #20 Sam Herring (141/149).
