Speculation on a back-half line-up juggle for Penn State started surfacing a few months ago.

Today, their roster was updated with new team members, updated grades, and - you guessed it - weight classes.

Weights listed suggest major changes in the upperweights for Penn State, winners of 7 of the last 8 NCAA Championship team titles. It appears that 184 and 197 will be flip-flopped, with a new (to the weight) face in the mix at heavyweight.

Bo Nickal, a three-time NCAA finalist and winner at the last two NCAA's, is listed at 197. It will be the second time Nickal moves up as he started his career with a runner-up finish at 174 as a Freshman.

Last year Penn State used Anthony Cassar and Shakur Rasheed at 197. Both will settle in at new weights this year. Shakur, an All American last year, is now listed at 184. The only other 184's on the roster are Austin Hoopes, a Freshman, and Francisco Bisono, who is listed as a 174/184.

It will be the third weight in as many years for Rasheed, who began his collegiate career at 165.

Ostensibly confirming another anticipated move, Cassar is listed at 285 where he is expected to compete with returning All American Nick Nevills for the starting spot. Both Cassar and Nevills are in their Senior season of eligibility.
