Nine Golden Knights earn All-PSAC honors

LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference today announced the PSAC Men's Wrestling All-Conference Team with Gannon well represented. Patrick Jackson (Harpers Ferry, WV/Spring Mills High) was named the PSAC Wrestling Freshman of the Year and was one of nine Golden Knights to earn All-PSAC honors.

In addition to Jackson, Pitt-Johnstown's Isaiah Vance was named the PSAC Athlete of the Year and Robert Fisher of Kutztown was selected the Coach of the Year.

Jerry Echevarria (Long Beach, N.Y./Long Beach) was a first team All-PSAC honoree at 133 lbs. after earning second team honors a year ago. Six more Golden Knights were named to the second team. They included Logan Sallot (Erie, PA/McDowell High School) at 125 lbs., plus Caleb Chaves (Odenton, Md./Arundel) (141 lbs.), Kenny Kiser (Meadville, Pa./Saegertown) (149 lbs.), Ethan Richner (Bellefonte, Pa./Bellefonte Area High) (157 lbs.), Nick Coreno (Willoughby, Ohio/Lake Catholic) (165 lbs.) and Jackson at 174 lbs.

Eli Reese (Sarver, Pa./Knoch) and Dorian Crosby (Erie, Pa./Cathedral Prep) were third team selections, with Reese at 197 lbs. and Crosby at heavyweight.

Coreno was a first team selection in 2023-24 while Chaves and Richner earned third team honors a year ago.

Jackson is a redshirt freshman who began his career at Lock Haven. Competing at 174 lbs. he finished with a 22-8 record with 4 falls, 4 technical falls and 3 major decisions. He captured the NCAA Super Regional 1 with a 5-1 decision over Kutztown's Dalton Gimbor, who was the first team selection to earn a trip to the NCAA Div. II National Championships.

Echevarria earned All-American honors for the second straight year, finishing seventh at 133 lbs. He went 4-2 at Nationals to conclude his redshirt junior season at 27-6 with 4 falls, 3 technical falls and 4 major decisions. He finished third at the Super Regional 1 and was eighth at the Midwest Classic.

Coreno concluded his career with a second straight trip to Nationals at 165 lbs. He finished with a 17-13 record and placed third at the Super Regional 1. Coreno ended his career with a 77-36 record and was an All-American in 2024.

Like Jackson, Sallot joined the Golden Knights this year after spending the previous year at Lock Haven. He finished with a 24-8 record with 2 falls, 10 technical falls and 3 major decisions. Sallot finished second at 125 lbs. at the Super Regional 1 to earn his first trip to Nationals. He fell just short of All-American honors with a 2-2 record.

Kiser entered Nationals as the third seed at 149 lbs. but was also battling an injury and did not place. A redshirt junior finished with a 15-4 record with 5 falls. He was second at the Super Regional 1 after medical forfeiting the championship match and previously was seventh at the Midwest Classic.

Chaves took over as the starter at 141 lbs. late in the year and went on to place third at the Super Regional 1. The redshirt junior had a 9-6 record with 5 falls.

Richner made his second trip to Nationals after finishing third at the Super Regional 1. The redshirt junior ended the year at 17-10 with 7 falls and 4 technical falls.

Crosby joined Echevarria as an All-American thanks to a third place showing at heavyweight at Nationals. A grad transfer from Bucknell who was a two-time Division I national qualifier, Crosby missed almost two months with an injury. He returned at the Super Regional 1 and proceeded to win the championship with a pin of Vance in the finals.

Crosby went on to finish 5-1 at Nationals, with the loss an 8-2 decision to Vance. He came back to win four straight matches, including a 4-2 decision over top-seeded Crew Howard of Neb.-Kearney in the third-place match. Crosby ended the year with a 27-4 record with 10 falls, 8 technical falls and 2 major decisions.
