Penn State Adds NCAA Finalist Max Dean

Back on April 9th, Max Dean entered the transfer portal…  Now his fate is at Penn State.

After, Iowa’s win this past season, Penn State adds to put the pressure on the Champions.

Penn State wrestling has made an addition to its upper weights for the 2021-22 season. Former Cornell wrestler Max Dean will wrestle with the Nittany Lions under head coach Cael Sanderson moving forward, according to his brother Gabe Dean, a former two-time NCAA Champion.

“He’s at Penn State now,” Gabe said Monday on an episode of “Beyond The Fight,” hosted by Chael Sonnen. “He’s going to be training and wrestling there.”

Max, who is a two-time All American and finished second at the 2019 NCAA Wrestling Championships at 184 pounds, will be a junior when it comes to eligibility. The 184-pound slot on Penn State’s roster is held down by 2021 NCAA Champion Aaron Brooks, but Gabe said his younger brother will likely bump up a weight.

I will have to check the transfer portal for more movement!
