Shippensburg University redshirt-junior Tyshawn White was selected to the 2021-22 All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Wrestling First Team at 125 pounds on Wednesday afternoon.
 
Voting is conducted by the league's head coaches.
 
White is the first Raider to earn an All-PSAC classification since the conference switched to coaches voting for the league's awards in 2019-20. This switch coincided with the PSAC Championship meet being discontinued and the league's Division I schools joining the Mid-American Conference (MAC).
 
Previously, the All-PSAC finishers for each weight class were assigned by those who finished in the Top 3 at the PSAC Championships and the coaches voted solely on the league's major awards.
 
White is the first Raider to earn an All-PSAC classification since Evan Ramos finished third at 197 pounds at the 2017 PSAC Championships.  
 
It is White's second career All-PSAC First Team classification; he achieved his first at Clarion when he won the 2018 PSAC Championship at 125 pounds for the Golden Eagles. 
 
White posted an 11-2 record in his debut season with the Raiders after joining the team in January. He earned All-America honors with a third-place finish at 125 pounds at the 2022 NCAA Division II National Championships after placing second at the NCAA Super Region 1 Championships.
 
His third-place finish at the NCAA Championships made him the first Raider to earn All-America honors at 125 pounds since Chris Kochinsky placed fourth in 2011 and the highest-placing Raider All-American at 125 pounds since Jamie Thomas was the 2006 runner-up. 
 
White's qualification for the national championships extended Shippensburg's streak to 19 consecutive seasons with a Division II National Championships qualifier. He is the fifth Raider All-American under head coach Seth Bloomquist.
 
The 2021-22 PSAC major award winners are Kutztown's Andrew Dunn Jr. (PSAC Athlete of the Year), Mercyhurst's Dillon Walker (Rookie of the Year) and Pitt-Johnstown's Pat Pecora (PSAC Coach of the Year).
