Senior wrestler Bubba Jenkins relaxes at practice earlier this season.

Penn State wrestling coach Cael Sanderson said “there’s a good chance” the 2008 All-American could sit out of competition for the entire season. As of now, Jenkins would be eligible to compete after final exams week, which takes place Dec. 14-18. If Jenkins sits out, he would be the second All-American — the other being Quentin Wright — to redshirt this season.

After the 2009 NCAA Championships, Jenkins stressed his content with redshirting this upcoming season, but that was before Sanderson took hold of the program.

The wrestlers were used to training for an extended period of time in the Lorenzo Wrestling Complex, but not spending a Friday night there for breaking a team rule.
