RETURNING STARTER
Cameron Wade had a solid freshman campaign, posting a 15-14 mark and going 2-3 and placing sixth at the Big Ten Championships. In prior years, that sixth place finish would have earned him a trip to nationals, but the new qualifying system kept the talented big man out of the tournament. With a trip to nationals and All-America laurels his driving force, look for Wade to continue his progress and become a force for the Nittany Lions as a red-shirt sophomore.
