STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) -The Sanderson boys stuck together from Iowa State to Penn State.
Now they’re making one more trip to the NCAA tournament together nearly a year after a whirlwind courtship lured Cael Sanderson from his alma mater to coach the Nittany Lions.
Cody, the oldest of the Sanderson brothers at 33, is Cael’s top assistant. Cyler, a 23-year-old senior, is one of the nation’s best wrestlers at 157 pounds.

It’s unlikely the Penn State wrestling team will come away with 10 individual titles, but former Nittany Lion coach Rich Lorenzo, who guided the team from 1979-92, believes the current coaching staff, led by Cael Sanderson, has the wrestlers ready.
