Penn State wrestling coach Cael Sanderson announced Tuesday redshirt sophomore J.R. Brown has quit the team.
Brown informed the team of his decision last Wednesday, prior to the Lehigh meet. Brown said he wanted to focus his time on studies and beginning another period of his life.
“I was tired of it,” Brown said. “Im just burnt out.”

Allentown Morning Call: PSU-Lehigh in big early showdown
The two wrestling powers are expected to draw a large crowd in Bethlehem tonight.

OF THE MORNING CALL
Cael Sanderson may be the golden boy of wrestling, but tonight will give him his first real taste of ''Eastern'' wrestling when Penn State and Lehigh meet for the 98th time in the series history.
Sanderson, the only collegiate wrestler to go undefeated and win four Division I NCAA titles in his career, who then went on to win an Olympic gold medal in freestyle wrestling, left his head coaching job at alma mater Iowa State after last season to take the reins at mighty Penn State.

CDT: Lehigh wrestling program continuing to aim high
Guy Cipriano – gciprian@centredaily.com
Lehigh coach Pat Santoro can relate to what Penn State’s Cael Sanderson has experienced the past seven months.
Santoro started his Mountain Hawk tenure last year, replacing longtime coach Greg Strobel. Santoro led Lehigh to a 23-1 dual meet record and a 28th-place finish at the NCAA Championships in his first season.
“There’s a lot of excitement that comes with a new staff,” Santoro said Wednesday. “Penn State should get a little boost from it.”
Santoro hopes the boost doesn’t come when the Nittany Lions and Mountain Hawks (1-0) meet Friday at Stabler Arena.

The matches didn’t count for anything but experience and there was no team score, but that didn’t prevent 2,400 fans from streaming into Rec Hall on Thursday evening for the unofficial start to the Cael Sanderson Era.
In a departure from years past, when varsity wrestle-offs served to help set the lineup and whet the appetites of Penn State wrestling fans, Sanderson introduced the intrasquad dual meet, where the top two healthy wrestlers at each weight, plus one exhibition bout, squared off in blue and white singlets.
