Wrestling recruiting: Cyler Sanderson to Penn State!

Cael and Cyler Sanderson

Cael Sanderson didn't have to look far for the Penn State Cyclones Nittany Lions most recent recruit. Little brother and two-time All-America Cyler Sanderson has been released by Iowa State and is heading to Happy Valley. Iowa State coach Kevin Jackson wasn't thrilled, but he understands...

"It's unfortunate. He's been on a team with a lot of teammates for the last four years and they're disappointed that he's leaving. They understand it's his brothers. He's been with his brothers his whole wrestling career, so to think we were going to be able to hold him back from leaving, I was hoping that might happen but obviously blood is thicker than water, as it should be."

Two-time NCAA qualifier Tyler Clark (125 pounds) has also been given a release and it remains to be seen if he'll follow Cael to State College, though that seems unlikely. Jackson said he gave Clark a partial release, not allowing him immediate eligibility at Penn State, Iowa, or another Big 12 school.

[Hats off to Dave Kroll of We Are...Penn State for alerting us to this story and hats off to UncleLar of Happy Valley Half Nelson for clarifying the Clark situation.]
