Some folks will point out that Penn State only had one PA guy in its starting lineup this year (although I still claim 2 - the Lee’s moved to State College a year before Nick enrolled).
Such pontification ignores the importance of a strong wrestling room of committed and skilled wrestling partners helping the starter become a national champion.
Penn State’s practice room is an abundance of PA state placers (who would been state champs in other states) and a few from our strong wrestling neighboring states of NY and (especially) NJ. The importance of a strong practice room cannot be overstated.
Two: Carter and Edsell.
But your point is well taken. The room is very strong and there's lots of other PA studs in it. Also, top top talent isn't always centered in PA year to year so it's partially timing on how many starters are PA bred as Cael is after the best of the best nationwide.
