Class of 2023 Wrestler AJ Fricchione Committs to Penn State

On Friday, Cael Sanderson added another talented commit to his national championship program.

AJ Fricchione, a Class of 2023 New Jersey state finalist wrestler has committed to Penn State.

Fricchione, who goes to St. Joseph Regional High School, was a state finalist in the 195-pound weight class last season. He is currently the No. 17 prospect in the 182-pound weight class, according to FloWrestling. Heโ€™s wrestled in multiple weight classes throughout his career, and also played football for St. Joseph. This season, heโ€™ll be competing at Bergen Catholic High School.

Fricchione was also a state runner-up in the 215-pound weight class as a junior and is ranked No. 1 in that class.

Fricchione has one more order of business he would like to take care of before he comes to Happy Valley.

He talked to heavyweightnationblog.com about finally becoming a state champion.

โ€œI donโ€™t want anything else other than to be on top of that podium in boardwalk hall holding that bracket,โ€ he said.
