No. 8

Quentin Wright
Career Record: 116-23
B1G Titles: 2 (2011 & 2013)
NCAA Titles: 2 (2011 & 2013)
All-American: 4 (2009 & 2011-2013)

Quentin Wright was clearly one of Cael Sanderson’s best wrestlers early in his coaching tenure at Penn State Wrestling. And Wright’s career clearly speaks for itself as I have him coming in at No. 8 on my list.

Wright was a big factor in Penn State bringing home the 2011 NCAA Team Title as he went on to win his 1st of 2 NCAA Titles.

The Wingate, PA native made his mark on collegiate wrestling early on in his career as he spun his No. 11 seed at the 2009 NCAA’s into a 6th place finish. Earning the freshman his 1st of 4 All-American distinctions. A mark which only a handful of Penn State grapplers have ever accomplished.

After bringing home his 1st NCAA Title in 2011, Wright then went on to finish runner-up in the 2012 NCAA’s.

But, true greats are never satisfied with second place and Wright was no exception.

Quentin turned in an incredible senior campaign in 2013 by going 32-0, winning his 2nd B1G Title, taking home his 2nd NCAA Title, and being named a 4 time All-American.
