This Penn State Wrestling Lineup is LOADED With Title Favorites! — Final X Preview & Predictions

Penn State Wrestling’s 2025-26 lineup isn’t just good — it might be the best college wrestling team ever assembled. Host Zach Seyko and the voice of Penn State Wrestling, Jeff Byers, break down the projected starting lineup and explain why 7–8 NCAA finalists isn’t just possible — it might be expected.

Then, they dive into the Final X matchups featuring PSU stars and Nittany Lion Wrestling Club members:

Can Luke Lilledahl upset Spencer Lee?

Will PJ Duke push Yianni Diakomihalis to three matches?

Does Mitchell Messenbrink dominate again against David Carr?

Plus: Josh Barr vs Trent Hidlay, Levi Haines vs Evan Wick, and Kyle Dake’s revenge tour.

This is a can’t-miss episode packed with analysis, projections, and bold predictions as Penn State takes over Final X and the NCAA title race.
