UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State wrestling’s PJ Duke was named Big Ten Wrestling Freshman of the Week on Thursday.

Duke picked up Penn State’s first weekly honor of the year.

He pinned No. 23 Jared Hill of Wyoming at the 4:09 mark in the second period of their 157-pound match-up last weekend. Duke, a true freshman, pinned the Cowboy graduate student after taking him down four times. Duke’s fall was one of four for Penn State in the Nittany Lions’ 40-7 victory at Wyoming.

Duke improved to 6-0 on the year with five pins and an injury default victory.

Penn State is 4-0 so far this season.

The Nittany head to Tennessee this Saturday for the 2025 Journeymen Collegiate Duals. The Nittany Lions will go up against North Dakota State at 5 p.m. and Stanford at 7 p.m.

Starting at $2.99/week.
