Marcus Blaze, the #1 overall recruit in the class of 2025, has announced his commitment to wrestle at Penn State University. He made the announcement on Wednesday morning during Perrysburg High School’s NCAA Signing Day Ceremony.

Check out the below article to see how he fits in with the Nittany Lions and his unprecedented accomplishments on themat.
How Does Blaze Fit At Penn State?
With NCAA runner-up Beau Bartlett graduating after this year, Blaze will could in perfectly for the national champion Nittany Lions at 141 pounds. Blaze is currently wrestling at 132 pounds so he might be slightly undersized at 141 next season. If that’s the case, Blaze could of course use a redshirt or compete for the spot at 133 pounds. Penn State currently has two solid options at 133 pounds in Braeden Davis and All-American Aaron Nagao. Because of that, the Nittany Lions will likely look for Blaze to grow to 141 pounds.
