**”Our Guys Are Going to Go Wrestle Superbly,” Penn State’s Cael Sanderson Says About Big Ten Tournament**
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. – As the Big Ten Wrestling Tournament draws near, Penn State’s head coach Cael Sanderson is brimming with confidence about his team’s performance. With the tournament scheduled to begin this weekend, Sanderson expressed his belief that his wrestlers are primed to compete at the highest level.
“Our guys are going to go wrestle superbly,” Sanderson said in a press conference earlier this week. “They’ve been putting in the work all season long, and I believe they’re ready for this challenge. The Big Ten is always one of the toughest conferences in the country, and we expect to battle for every point.”
Penn State enters the tournament as one of the favorites, with several wrestlers poised to compete for individual titles. Sanderson’s squad, which has been dominant throughout the regular season, is led by returning NCAA champions and seasoned veterans, but the team also features a strong contingent of young talent eager to make their mark.
Among the standout athletes is junior Roman Bravo-Young, who has been a consistent force at 133 pounds, and senior Carter Starocci, who has been a dominant presence at 174 pounds. Both athletes are expected to make deep runs and possibly secure titles. Additionally, Nittany Lions like Nick Lee, Aaron Brooks, and others will add further depth to Penn State’s tournament aspirations.
Sanderson acknowledged the fierce competition but remained optimistic. “The Big Ten is tough, no doubt, but we focus on our strengths and trust the process. The goal is to continue getting better, stay focused, and wrestle the way we know how.”
The Big Ten Tournament, scheduled to take place this weekend, will be a critical test for Penn State as they look to capture the team title and secure key seeding for the upcoming NCAA Championships. Sanderson’s confidence in his team remains unwavering as they prepare for the challenges ahead.
