The Greensburg, Pa., native was ranked as the top 160-pounder in the nation by Intermat this past year and was that outlet's No. 7 overall recruit. Amateur Wrestling News had Kemerer ranked No. 4 overall in the nation as well.
Kemerer's addition to the Penn State recruiting class gives head coach Cael Sanderson three of Intermat's top seven recruits as he joins No. 1 David Taylor (St. Paris, Ohio) and No. 5 Ed Ruth (Harrisburg, Pa.). Kemerer was also an ASICS First Team High School All-American, joining Taylor and Ruth to give Penn State three of this year's first team. Like the other members of Sanderson's top-ranked recruiting class, Kemerer will not wrestle in the 2009-10 campaign.
Sanderson's Nittany Lions will open up its 2009-10 season with an Intrasquad Scrimmage on Thursday, Nov. 5, at 7 p.m. in Rec Hall (the Intrasquad is free and open to the public). The home season begins with a 12 p.m. dual against Bloomsburg on Sunday, Nov. 15.
