It’s a big weekend upcoming for Penn State athletics, folks, and the new Penn State football coach is going to take it all in.

Matt Campbell, who was already announced to be performing the ceremonial puck drop at the highly anticipated hockey game at Beaver Stadium, will also be taking in his first Penn State wrestling match, as it was announced on Wednesday night that he will be making an appearance at the Bryce Jordan Center for the dual against No. 6 Nebraska on Friday night.

In the aftermath of Campbell’s hiring, both he and wrestling head coach Cael Sanderson told the media of a 45-minute conversation between the two former Iowa State coaches that they had after Campbell’s hiring about the adjustment. The two will get a chance to connect in person on Friday night.

Tickets are still available for the wrestling team’s biggest dual of the season so far here.
