Jack DavisJack Davis has decided he'd rather be a Nittany Lion than a Panther.
The two-time national preps champ for Wyoming Seminary in Kingston, Pa. had made a commitment to wrestle at the University of Pittsburgh … but has changed his mind and will be now competing at Penn State, according to multiple media reports Thursday.
Davis announced his change of heart on Twitter:
Proud to announce that I will be furthering my athletic and academic career at Penn State University #WeAre

Davis is expected to wrestle at either 133 or 141 pounds for the program that won the 2018 NCAA Division I team title three months ago … and joins a recruitment class ranked No. 1 by InterMat.
Davis is confident he could make an immediate contribution to the Nittany Lions squad that has won seven NCAA team titles in the past eight years.
"Knowing how I've been in my past, I feel like anything is possible if I put my mind to it," Davis told the Wilkes-Barre Citizens' Voice. "If I continue to work hard and push myself... I don't doubt seeing myself in the starting lineup and pushing myself to be great."
While at Wyoming Seminary, Davis won three Pennsylvania preps titles and placed fifth in the 2016 Cadet World Championships … in addition to winning his first national title at 120 pounds in 2016, then adding a second at 132 in 2018.
