Cael Sanderson went portaling.

Former Michigan wrestler Kurt McHenry announced his commitment to Penn State Sunday night after entering the transfer portal earlier this month.

The 125-pounder will arrive in Happy Valley with two years of eligibility remaining.

The Leesburg, Virginia, native didn’t compete as a freshman and, as a redshirt freshman, McHenry went 0-2 in competition during his second year.

In his redshirt sophomore year at Michigan, McHenry clinched the championship at the Findlay Open at 125 pounds. The following season in 2022-23, McHenry registered a 7-4 record and finished his career in Ann Arbor with a 12-6 record.

Ahead of the 2023-24 season, McHenry will likely battle for a position in the starting lineup with fellow 125-pound Nittany Lions Class of 2023 recruit Braeden Davis, Robbie Howard, and Gary Steen.
