Zack Ryder on Life as a Redshirt and Big Plans for Next Season |N&D 74|
In this episode of Nickal’s and Dimes, the gang sits down with Zack Ryder for a conversation packed with laughs, insight, and behind-the-scenes stories from one of the top programs in the country.
Zack kicks things off by talking about the intense workouts with the Penn State wrestling team and even admits he was a little nervous to jump on the podcast. From there, the guys dive into Zack’s recruiting class and his journey through the sport.
We also hear about Zack’s early days—coming to Penn State camps as a kid, how he got into wrestling, and how his dad helped start a wrestling club that played a big role in his development. Zack shares why he chose Penn State, what tournaments are next, and how he’s preparing for the upcoming season.
The crew also talks about the mental side of being a redshirt athlete, the challenges that come with it, and Zack’s long-term goals moving forward.
*This episode was recorded before Zack entering the transfer portal. We wish him nothing but the best with his decision.*
