Notable: The meet that will have all of the college wrestling world will be this one -- the No. 1 Nittany Lions vs. the No. 2 Hawkeyes. … Penn State won last year's meet, 19-13, while Iowa took the 2020 meet, 19-17, which was the Lions' last dual meet loss. The 2021 meet in State College was canceled due to COVID issues. … Central Cambria graduate Max Murin is ranked seventh at 149 pounds for the Hawkeyes, coming into Friday with a 13-3 record. He is projected to wrestle Penn State freshman Shayne Van Ness. … Although it's unlikely, there is a possibility of having two top-ranked wrestlers face each other if Iowa 125-pounder Spencer Lee bumps up to 133 pounds to wrestle the Lions' Roman Bravo-Young.
