Great article, but leaves me a bit confused. How could he be a wrestler at PSU in 1920, when PSU first started wrestling in 2010? That is a 90 year gap there that isn't accounted for by anyone reputable (HR). Next thing you'll tell me is PSU won their first NCAA wrestling championship 22 years before Iowa won theirs. So much fake news, not certain who to believe anymore

The bold part is where you got yourself in trouble.

Penn State dropped wrestling in 1921, brought it back for one year in 1953, and then from 2010 until today...
