REDSHIRT Masanosuke Ono?! — Penn State Wrestling Should Consider Doing That (Lineup Predictions)

Penn State wrestling’s biggest offseason question may revolve around world-class freshman Masanosuke Ono — and whether he redshirts in his first year. In this episode, Zach Seyko breaks down why the Nittany Lions may want to preserve a year of eligibility depending on what the NCAA decides, how redshirting affects the projected lineup at 133 and 141 pounds, and what this means for stars like Marcus Blaze, Braeden Davis, and Aaron Nagao. If Ono gets two full years to compete, he could start immediately. If not, expect a reshuffle. Zach walks through all the scenarios and makes early predictions for Penn State’s 2025–26 and 2026–27 starting lineups.
