FACTS: Oklahoma State BELIEVES It Can Beat Penn State Wrestling THIS Season!

Penn State wrestling remains the team to beat—but David Taylor and Oklahoma State believe they have built a lineup capable of challenging Cael Sanderson’s dynasty during the 2026–27 season. Zach Seyko of Locked On Nittany Lions joins Cody Stovall of Locked On Oklahoma State to project both lineups from 125 pounds through heavyweight. 

They break down Oklahoma State’s additions of Bennett Berge and Lorenzo Norman, Penn State’s major decisions involving Marcus Blaze, Masanosuke Ono, Nate Desmond, Jayden James, PJ Duke and Mitchell Mesenbrink, and the matchups that could shape the 2027 NCAA wrestling championship race. 

Could Luke Lilledahl and Troy Spratley meet again at 125? Who would Oklahoma State rather face between Ono and Blaze at 133? Is Sergio Vega a difficult matchup for Shayne Van Ness? Can Landon Robideau beat Jayden James? What happens if PJ Duke moves to 174? And can Cody Merrill close the gap on Josh Barr? 

Penn State scored a record 181.5 points while winning the 2026 NCAA championship, with Oklahoma State finishing second at 131. The Cowboys return three young NCAA champions and have aggressively added to their roster. Penn State still possesses elite champions and exceptional depth—but the projected lineup contains several major decisions.
