The wrestler of the NCAA, AJ Ferrari, is known to express his mind.
The 23 -year -old recently expressed his reflections on the dominant race of Penn State in the fight.
“This is why Penn State wins. What is the secret sauce?” Ferrari asked a group of journalists. “Faith. Fourth national champion Aaron Brooks … faith, domination. That is why these guys have a decade of domination … All guys are strong believers.”

Ferrari added that Penn State wrestlers are not only talking about conversation, they also walk.
“They don’t only say it, they live it. You can say what you want (Penn State Wrestling) Cael Sanderson, you can say what you want about Cody Sanderson … And I’m not even trying to transfer, but they have a real authentic faith. And that’s what matters.”

“And that’s what people don’t like me, they don’t like the fact that I’m real. They don’t like the fact that if I don’t like what you do, I will call you. Because I’m not the teammate you want, I am the teammate you need.
President Donald Trump attended the fight championships in Philadelphia during the weekend. A few moments after having become the first champion of struggle five times in NCAA history, the Penn State, Carter Starocci’s wrestling superstar turned out to be for Trump.

Monday, Staroci shared the details of his conversation on the carpet side with Trump.
“When I heard that he came, I thought I was going to go there and say a few words to my man a few words because I met him before, so having him in the house is still special,” he told “Fox & Friends” of PK Press Club Channel.
Starocci beat the Northern Iowa, Parker Keckeisen, 4-3, to win the 184 pound championship and its fifth title NCAA.

Ferrari seems to have a rivalry with Staroci. The two wrestlers engaged in an animated exchange on social networks last September.
Ferrari had previously competed with the Oklahoma State wrestling team, but he left school in 2022 in the midst of a sexual assault investigation. The case was then rejected.
