There have been only five four-time NCAA champions, and none from Penn State, although the Nittany Lions’ Carter Starocci also could join that short list this weekend at 174 pounds.

Brooks, who won four Maryland 4A-3A state titles for the Hubs, became a four-time Big Ten champion earlier this month at the University of Maryland’s Xfinity Center, where he was named the outstanding wrestler of the tournament as well as the conference’s wrestler of the year.

Penn State, which has won 10 of the last 12 NCAA team titles, is the favorite again this weekend.
