## Resource

Penn State wrestling had an outstanding weekend at Final X in Newark — sending five wrestlers to the 2026 Senior World Wrestling Championships in Kazakhstan this October. Greg Pickel joins Thomas Frank Carr to break down every result, starting with Marcus Blaze's clutch win at 61kg over Jax Forrest of Oklahoma State, earned on a late takedown at the edge of the mat in round three. They also cover Luke Littledahl's competitive series loss to Spencer Lee — and why the result says more about Spencer Lee's level than any deficiency in Littledahl heading into his junior season. Then a full breakdown of Penn State's complete world team haul and what to watch for when competition begins in October. The show closes on a significant rule change: the five-for-five eligibility rule now appears to eliminate redshirts, Olympic redshirts, and medical waivers — and what that means for how Penn State constructs its lineup going forward is a conversation the program has been having for longer than most fans realize.
