117 PSU athletes are BIG Distinguished Scholars

[NoVa Lion]

Which means they had a 3.7 GPA or higher for the 2018-19 academic year. See link. 15 of those had a 4.0 GPA, including Austin Clabaugh and Jason Nolf from the wrestling team. Congrats to all of them.

Thanks NoVa. I get a on my face when I read any accomplishments from student-athlete's, particularly wrestlers. For wrestlers, academic accomplishments are met with the same satisfaction from me as wrestling accomplishments. It's why I do what I do.

Maybe some see this as I do, a reflection on all the coaches. They provide an environment that encourages, inspires, and motivates student-athletes to excel in all aspects of student life. In the case of the Wrestling Coaching Staff, the bar has been set very high. Not all fit this environment. Those that do, have a chance/ opportunity to leave the program the best possible person, and the best possible wrestler they can be.

In the immortal word of the "other" JB, Jason Nolf is not a human being.
Good stuff.

Three other wrestlers were listed as having between a 3.7 and 4.0 GPA.

Brian Friery - Political Science
Dom Giannangelli - Mechanical Engineering
Devin Schnupp - Turf Grass Science

Very impressive as well.

They only recruited Nolf for his grades. Nerd.

@RoarLions1
Roar, I think you might have meant to put this in the other thread about Yasar Dogu not this thread about scholar athletes.

James English did it. In grad school. And placed at nationals.

More to the point: congrats to all 5. Regardless of what they do on the mat, this is the most important.

Cael taught him how to wrestle

He was ChemE, wasn't he?

 

[NoVa Lion]

He was ChemE, wasn't he?

Yes he was. He was going to grad school during his 6th year. Not sure of the major.

 

[El-Jefe]

ME grad.

Hmm. That's a too-bold statement!

Nobody cares about a person's college GPA for long, as long as the person graduated, which is easy to do. But something special that a person does on the mat can be remembered and talked about into his old age and beyond!

That's one way to be remembered.

Not how we would have handled it.

Cael may throw a chair, but at least he doesn't disrobe first.

How many clicks does it take you to pull up that pic?

Something tells me not many.
