Thomas Holley, a top rated defensive tackle, has decommitted from Penn State and flipped his commitment to Florida.
It was 22 days since Penn State's last deal meet, but it was clear the team didn't miss a beat. The Nittany Lion wrestlers defeated Purdue 34-3 in Rec Hall Sunday afternoon, dropping only one bout to the Boilermakers. David Taylor added his 47th career pin, and four Nittany Lions had major decisions.
James Franklin was only Vanderbilt's head coach for three season, but it didn't take long for the fanbase to fall in love with him. He took the Commodores from a 2-10 record to 6-7 in his first year as head coach, followed by two 9-4 seasons in the talented SEC. Under Franklin the Commodores won back-to-back bowl games for the first time in team history and finished in the top-25 both seasons.
Stephen Obeng-Agyapong will join John Urschel and Glenn Carson at the East-West Shrine game on January 18.
Penn State wrestling's fourth straight Southern Scuffle victory on Thursday in Chattanooga may have been sullied slightly, as top-ranked Ed Ruth lost for the first time in 84 matches to Cornells Gabe Dean (#7) in the finals.
Penn State is holding strong after the first day of the Southern Scuffle, trailing only Minnesota by the slimmest of margins. The Nittany Lions put up 53 points to their 53.5, with Oklahoma State not far behind at 50 points.
