Former Penn State wrestlers Alex Facundo and Gary Steen have committed to transfer to Oklahoma State, they announced Monday.

Facundo, who entered the transfer portal last week, made a significant impact at Penn State during the 2023-24 season, filling the 165-pound slot and going 5-0 as a sophomore in the 2024-25 season before Tyler Kasak took over the 157-pound slot. He finished his time at Penn State with a 34-10 record.

Steen started at Penn State during the 2022-23 season and was a combined 19-25 throughout his Penn State career. He went 3-4 during the 2024-25 season at 133 pounds.

The two wrestlers will compete for Penn State alum David Taylor’s Cowboys, who have made waves in the wrestling world during Taylor’s one-year tenure. On Monday, the Cowboys’ heavyweight wrestler Wyatt Hendrickson won the Hodge Trophy, given to the sport’s best wrestler.
