🚨 BREAKING NEWS: LOCATION #15 IS OFFICIAL! 🚨
The Best Wrestler is coming to State College, Pennsylvania—and Coach Jason Nickal will lead the way!
This is not just another location. This is a major step forward.
Coach Nickal brings 30 years of experience, has helped lead teams to six state championships, mentored more than 40 individual state champions, and earned 11 Coach of the Year awards.
He is a proven leader. A teacher. A developer of champions.
As the head boys wrestling coach at State College Area High School—and the father of former Penn State standout and MMA athlete Bo Nickal —Jason understands what it takes to develop athletes at the highest level.

It is about determination.
Teamwork.
Discipline.
Continuous improvement.
Through this partnership, wrestlers in the State College area will gain expanded access to elite club training, world-class camps, high-level competition, and overseas wrestling tours.
Jason sent us this personally:
“State College Wrestling Club is excited to join The Best Wrestler in a new partnership. Together, we will provide expanded opportunities for wrestlers in the State College area, including club training, camps, and overseas tours.
We look forward to helping athletes grow on and off the mat through high-level coaching, competition, and memorable experiences.”
