One of the things I like best about staying apart of the wrestling community is seeing a student-athlete reaping the rewards of his hard work.
While I didn't actually see it on Tuesday night, I could hear the joy in Triston Law's voice as he told me that he had given a verbal commitment to wrestle alongside his older brother, Cody, at Penn State.
The Law family has amazed me over the past few years. Cody made as much improvement as any wrestler I've ever seen at the high school level, and he's continuing to improve at the college level - so much so that he'll be starting as a redshirt freshman on Sunday when the Nittany Lions host Lehigh. (You can read more about that in Thursday's Tribune-Democrat).
Triston also has improved over the past few years. While he won't have the pedigree as some of his peers at Penn State three PIAA medals - which he could end up with after this season - is nothing to sneeze at. Besides, he has the perfect role model to look up to in his older brother who is proof positive that a recruited walk-on can make an impact with hard work and dedication.
