One of Penn State’s greatest wrestling exports has decided to hang up his boots.

Former Penn State wrestler Jason Nolf announced his retirement from wrestling on Twitter in a 1-minute video posted to Twitter on Monday. Nolf wrestled for the Nittany Lions from 2014-18 and racked up two Big Ten championships and three NCAA titles.

After graduation, Nolf went on to have success as a professional wrestler as he won back-to-back US Open National Championships in 2022 and 2023, respectively. Nolf also won gold medals at the 2023 and 2024 Zagreb Grand Prix as well as the 2020 Pan American Championships. Nolf’s career closed with an Olympic trials loss to Kyle Dake at the Bryce Jordan Center.
