Strayer sports a 3.22 grade point average as a sophomore Kinesiology major. A starter for the past two seasons at 133 pounds, Strayer earned All-America status this year by placing seventh at the 2007 NCAA Wrestling Championships in Detroit this past March. The honor is Strayer's second straight first team selection to the team.
The South Fork, Pa., native went 27-8 this year, including a 6-2 mark in Big Ten duals. He was 16-3 in duals overall. Over the course of his two-year stint in the starting line-up, Strayer has amassed a 53-14 record and is 12-4 in Big Ten duals. He was a national qualifier in 2006 as a freshman, finishing just one win shy of earning All-America status in Oklahoma City. He was an Academic All-Big Ten selection this past winter as well.
Penn State's team GPA was a lofty 2.8991, good enough for 17th on the NWCA's listing of All-Academic teams. Duke was the top team with a 3.3861 GPA. Only Northwestern among Big Ten school's had a higher team GPA than Penn State as the Wildcats checked in with a 3.0152 mark. Purdue (20th), Indiana (29th) and Michigan State (30th) round out the Big Ten teams listed among the top 30.
