AJ Ferrari's view on Penn State's successful wrestling run
AJ Ferrari recently conveyed his opinion on why he thinks Penn State has a successful run at the NCAA Championships. Penn State won its fourth consecutive NCAA Division I Men's Wrestling National Championships title under head coach Cael Sanderson, held at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, from March 20-22.
They surpassed the Nebraska and Oklahoma State wrestling programs after bagging 177 team points. Following the championships, Ferrari opined that the Lions are successful at the collegiate circuit because of its athletes' faith in winning and its coaches.
"What's the secret sauce? Faith," Ferrari said via Joe Smeltzer on X. "Four-time National Champion Aaron Brooks, faith, domination that's why these guys have a decade of domination all their guys are strong Believers and they don't just say it they live it. You can say what you want about Cael Sanderson, you can say what you want about Cody Sanderson and I'm not even looking to transfer there but they got real authentic faith you know and that's what matters."
AJ Ferrari competed at the 2025 National Championships, where he reached the semifinal round. He fell short of appearing in the final round after losing to Iowa's Stephen Buchanan.
