Episode Details

Penn State wrestling is chasing history again at the 2026 NCAA Championships, but the path won’t be easy. In this Locked On crossover, Zach Seyko and Trent Condon break down whether Penn State can break the NCAA scoring record, how many finalists and champions the Nittany Lions could produce, and which bracket landmines could get in the way.

The episode goes weight by weight through the biggest Penn State and Iowa storylines, including Luke Lilledahl’s path at 125, the Jax Forrest seeding controversy at 133, Jesse Mendez’s title chances at 141, Shane Van Ness at 149, PJ Duke at 157, Mitchell Mesenbrink vs Mikey Caliendo at 165, Levi Haines at 174, Rocco Welsh vs Angelo Ferrari at 184, Josh Barr at 197, and the heavyweight toss-up with Ben Keeter and Cole Mirasola.
