The US collegiate wrestling scene is witnessing more and more explosive and dynamic shifts every day. Spectators are always on the edges of their seats and don’t know which wrestler will win the bout. However, 3x World Champion David Taylor seems to know where the tide will shift. The 86kg wrestling superstar had recently made a brazen claim about the Nittany Lions Wrestling Club in his podcast.

His words were initially dismissed as the words of a Penn State loyalist. However, a recently uploaded social media post has shockingly confirmed his predictions as the Penn State Nittany Lions rise to the top.

Magic Man David Taylor with the magic prediction

Young wrestling stars from all universities are putting up a formidable show in all of their matches. However, this season, the wrestlers wearing the Lions’ singlet are winning more than anyone else. USA Wrestling tweeted an update about the NCAA Division 1 ranking of collegiate wrestling from its official X handle. The tweet reads, “@PennStateWREST is No. 1 in the @WINwrestlingmag TPI rankings with nine athletes in the top eight, including No. 1 individuals Levi Haines (157), Carter Starocci (174), Aaron Brooks (197) and Greg Kerkvliet (275). @HokiesWrestling is No. 2 in the TPI.” 

This post is a direct indication of the truth in the words of David Taylor about the Nittany Lions Wrestling Club. David Taylor had claimed that America can secure many wins at the 2024 Olympics if they send just the Lions. The magic prediction of the Magic Man David Taylor sounds like a plausible reality now.
