David Erwin’s 2008-09 wrestling season didn’t quite go to plan.

Erwin, now a senior, beat eventual All-American Quentin Wright twice at 2008 Wrestle-Offs to earn the starting nod at 174 pounds. Then he won his first three matches of the season at the Michigan State Open before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury.

From the sidelines, Erwin got to see Wright take over at 174 and surge to a 33-13 record and a sixth-place NCAA finish in St. Louis.

Now, with Wright set to redshirt in order to move up in weight class, Erwin is healthy and expected to be a major player in the Nittany Lions’ lineup at 174.
