Penn State Wrestling

Here are all of the finalized seedings, 1st-round matches for the Big Ten wrestling tournament

By Josh Moyer

On Monday, the Big Ten awarded four Penn State wrestlers the top preliminary seeds and gave three other Nittany Lions the No. 2 pre-seeds for this weekend’s conference tournament.

On Friday afternoon, when the seeds are sometimes tweaked and then finalized, nothing changed for Penn State. In fact, the only change across all teams was at 165 pounds — where Ohio State’s Te’Shawn Campbell and Indiana’s Bryce Martin switched seeds.

The top seeds for the Nittany Lions remain Mark Hall (174 pounds), Vincenzo Joseph (165), Bo Nickal (197) and Jason Nolf (157). And the No. 2 seeds include Anthon Cassar (Heavyweight), Nick Lee (141) and Shakur Rasheed (184).

The three remaining are No. 4-seed Roman Bravo-Young (133), No. 6-seed Brady Berge (149) and No. 12-seed Devin Schnupp (125).

Here’s a look at all of the finalized seedings for the Big Ten tournament Saturday and Sunday in Minneapolis, along with all of the first-round matches:
