Nick Suriano is coming home.

The Paramus native and former Bergen Catholic wrestling champion looks to be on his way back to the Garden State after just one season in Happy Valley.

Penn State said in a statement Tuesday that Suriano has been given a release from its team so he can transfer to Rutgers.

But how soon he returns to the mat and how many seasons he will have left are questions still unanswered.

Going from one Big Ten school to another requires athletes to sit out one year and lose one season of eligibility unless given a waiver by the conference.

A story by NJ.com reported that Penn State would not support the waiver.

School officials did not immediately return a message from The Record on Tuesday night seeking clarification.

“Nick Suriano recently requested a release so that he could transfer to Rutgers,” Penn State said in the statement. “We granted this release.”

“Subject to Big Ten policy, any intra-conference transfer is required to sit for one year before they are again eligible to participate. Nick is open to transfer to Rutgers and will be subject to that school's policies (conference or otherwise) on transfer and eligibility status. We support and work within the Big Ten policy."

Suriano would be a huge addition to Rutgers.

At Bergen Catholic, he had one of the greatest high school careers in state history. He was 159-0 with the Crusaders and became just the fourth four-time New Jersey state champion.

With Penn State, he quickly established himself as a top collegiate wrestler.

Suriano went 16-3 as a freshman and won by pins or major decisions in about half of his matches. Two of the three losses came by default from an ankle injury suffered on Feb. 19. After forfeiting at the Big Ten championships, he pulled out of the NCAAs where he was seeded third at 125.

The Nittany Lions still came away with the NCAA team title, their sixth national championship in seven seasons. The Scarlet Knights ended the year with a pair of All-Americans and a No. 12 ranking in the final USA Today/NWCA Coaches Poll.
