Mon Apr 07 18:30:00 UTC 2025: **Former NCAA Wrestling Champion AJ Ferrari to Announce College Transfer Destination**

STATE COLLEGE, PA – Two-time NCAA All-American and former champion AJ Ferrari will announce his next collegiate wrestling destination on Monday at 11 a.m. ET during an appearance on FloWrestling Radio Live. Ferrari, who competed for California State University, Bakersfield (CSUB) this past season after a period away from the sport, has narrowed his choices down to eight schools: Penn State, Oklahoma State, Iowa, Iowa State, Rutgers, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Michigan.

Ferrari’s decision comes after a highly successful but unconventional collegiate career. He won the NCAA title as a freshman at Oklahoma State before a car accident and subsequent legal issues (since dismissed) interrupted his progress. He garnered significant social media attention for CSUB, generating over 20 million views, and reached the NCAA semifinals this year before ultimately finishing third.

A transfer to Penn State would be particularly noteworthy, as the Nittany Lions already boast NCAA silver medalist Josh Barr at Ferrari’s weight class (197 pounds). Penn State recently added another top transfer, Rocco Welsh, and has seen several wrestlers transfer to Oklahoma State. Ferrari himself has 2-3 years of eligibility remaining.

The announcement is highly anticipated within the wrestling community, with Ferrari known for his dynamic personality and exciting wrestling style.
