Show notes

Oklahoma State just landed 8 of the top 10 recruits in the 2026 wrestling class — the most dominant recruiting haul since Penn State’s own elite classes. In this Locked On crossover, Zach Seyko (Locked On Nittany Lions) and Cody Stovall break down what David Taylor’s recruiting success means for Cael Sanderson’s program, the transfer portal results, Bo Bassett at Virginia Tech, Coby Merrill to Iowa State, and the future Penn State vs Oklahoma State national title race. Key topics: Oklahoma State 2026 recruiting class, Penn State wrestling roster outlook 2026-27, transfer portal wins for both programs, David Taylor vs Cael Sanderson, Bo Bassett Virginia Tech commitment, US Open takeaways, and why this rivalry is about to get extremely fun. This episode explains exactly why Penn State fans should be both concerned and excited heading into the next era of college wrestling.
