Class Of 2023 Star AJ Fricchione Commits To Penn State Wrestling
The dynasty just refuses to quit.
Class of 2023 standout AJ Fricchione announced his verbal commitment to Penn State’s wrestling program via Twitter. Fricchione is the first recruit secured by Cael Sanderson since Tyler Kasak, who committed in May.
“First off I would like to thank God for putting me in the position that I am in today,” Fricchione wrote.
“I want to thank my Dad for always taking me to wrestling tournaments and pushing me to be the best wrestler I could ever be,” Fricchione continued. “I also want to thank my Mom for giving me every opportunity to be great at the sport and a great kid off the mat.”
All in!!!
