Penn State news, notes, and updates for Sept. 13 include a preview of the U.S. Senior World Team Trials, headlines of the day, and more. It\u2019s time to dive into the top tweets and stories about the Nittany Lions and college athletics on Friday.<\/p>\n

Penn State tweets of the day<\/h2>\n

The U.S. National team for non-Olympic weights will be set this weekend in Omaha, Neb. Winners in each classification will then go to the non-Olympic World Championships in Tirana, Albania October 28-31. At least four Penn State connections are vying for a spot on the team this weekend. Going in weight order, Class of 2025 commit PJ Duke<\/strong> is first. Fresh off earning a 70-kilogram (154 pounds) silver medal at U20 Worlds, he now moves up to senior-level competition.<\/p>\n

Next up is reigning 157-pound NCAA champ Levi Haines<\/strong>. Notably, he is entered for this competition at 79 kilograms, which equates to 174 pounds. Does it mean the junior will try to move up and claim Carter Starocci\u2019s old spot in the Penn State lineup this winter? Time will tell, as it is important to note that there is no weight class at this tournament equivalent to 165 pounds, which is also a possibility. But, it\u2019s interesting nonetheless as the tea leaves continue to suggest that he will move up in weight this year.<\/p>\n

Last but not least among current ties, Connor Mirasola<\/strong> is in at 92 kilograms (202.8 pounds). He is fighting for an upperweight spot in the Lions\u2019 lineup this fall.<\/p>\n

Additionally, one past tie, former Lions star and current Oklahoma State coach David Taylor<\/strong>, is in at 92 kilograms. He will be the No. 1 seed as long as he weighs in.<\/p>\n

The non-Olympic weight U.S. Senior Team Trials start Saturday and run through Sunday. The finals follow a best 2 out of 3 format on the tournament\u2019s second day.<\/p>\n

Quote of the day<\/h2>\n

\u201cWith the way college football is now, I\u2019m used to having these guys since January. So I was legit worried about Max when he came in. But I have my notes sitting here. I\u2019m not worried one bit about that guy. He is an outstanding young man across the board. I am super thrilled to have him as part of the program. I think he\u2019s going to have a big future. He works great, works his tail off, gained respect from his teammates, and I\u2019m really excited. But I would be lying if I said I wasn\u2019t apprehensive at first about how fast he\u2019d get up to speed, but he\u2019s thriving in the system and doing a great job.\u201d<\/p>\n
