Stephen Nedoroscik once revealed why he chose the Nittany Lions for his NCAA gymnastics career. Speaking to Penn State University in 2024, he recounted how he never got formally recruited by any school, so he and his mom chose to scout colleges.

He explained that he loved the Penn State campus on his first visit, saying (8.30):

“Me and my mom went on unofficial (college visits) and we visited Penn State, Ohio State and Illinois. We got to meet the coaches, got to see the campus, and immediately Penn State's campus was by far the best in my opinion. I love all the greenery, the gardens, beautiful, beautiful campus. After meeting the coaches, talking with them, sending them videos, it really was a tough decision because, you know, every school is a great school.”

He added that his club coach also encouraged him to consider Penn State, given that the University had a strong program for pommel-horse athletes.

“I had my club coach give me some tips and pointers, and he said that Penn State always had a really good program specifically for guys that want to do pommel horse. And when he said that, everything in my mind kind of synced up. And I was like, ‘he's right’. Like Penn State was beautiful, they offered me, and they have the history backing what I'm going to be doing there. So I was like, ‘yeah, it's a no brainer’. And that day I committed to Penn State,” he added.

In addition to winning two national championships, Stephen Nedoroscik's collegiate career also saw him win the Nissen Emery Award, the highest honor in college men's gymnastics. After his NCAA days, the 26-year-old has won one World Championship gold and two Olympic bronze medals.
