Nittany Lion wrestler David Taylor, the defending NCAA Champion at 165-pounds and a two-time All-American, will be honored during the first half of Saturday’s Penn State/Wisconsin Football game (which begins at 3:30 p.m.).  

Taylor was awarded the 2012 Hodge Trophy earlier this year, being named the 2012 National Wrestler of the Year by W.I.N. Magazine.  Taylor will be publically presented with the trophy (wrestling’s version of the Heisman Trophy) during the first half of the game by Bryan Van Kley of W.I.N. Magazine.  

Penn State is the two-time defending NCAA and Big Ten champions.
