June 15th was New Year’s Day for those college coaches recruiting the Class of 2027 and the student-athletes waiting to plan out their futures. The 15th was the first day that collegiate coaches could officially contact rising juniors and there has been plenty of activity on the recruiting front. 
Since the 15th, some of the nation’s top prospects have released lists of their top schools. Rather than trying to dig through social media or click through a bunch of state sites, we have compiled this list of these top recruits and their potential future homes. 
Remember recruiting is a fluid process, so another school, currently unlisted, could jump into the picture for a recruit. Conversely, the recruits could trim their list at any time. 
This is a feature that will be revisited as needed throughout the recruitment process.

We’re only one day away from the start of Fargo! The women’s action starts on Saturday morning. At InterMat, we tend to look at events like this from a collegiate perspective and this week is no different. 
For the past two weeks, USA Wrestling has released a handful of state rosters each day. With each subsequent release, we’ve checked each roster to see how many team members have signed or committed to wrestle at the next level. 
Now, we have a gigantic list of wrestlers who are slated to appear in Fargo - sorted by their future college. 
Please let me know if anyone has been omitted!

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; July 10, 2025 – Nittany Lion wrestler Carter Starocci has been named the 2025 Big Ten Jesse Owens Male Athlete of the Year. Starocci was honored from a field that featured each of the 18 Big Ten members' Male Athletes of the Year.  USC’s JuJu Watkins was named Big Ten Female Athlete of the Year.
The Erie, Pa., native is the fourth Penn State male athlete to claim the Big Ten Athlete of the Year honor, three of whom have been wrestlers. Luis Vargas, men’s gymnastics, was the first to win the honor in 2005. Wrestler David Taylor won in 2014, and wrestler Bo Nickal won in 2019.
Starocci capped off an historic collegiate career, becoming the first and only wrestler in NCAA Division I history to become a five-time NCAA National Champion. Starocci downed Northern Iowa’s Parker Keckeisen in the national finals in Philadelphia to claim his fifth crown in as many trips to the event. Starocci ended the year as one of ten All-Americans for Penn State as the Nittany Lions won their 12th NCAA title under head coach Cael Sanderson, 13th in school history and fourth straight for the third time since Sanderson’s arrival in Happy Valley. Starocci ended the season with a 26-0 record with six pins, 10 technical falls and five majors.
He ended his career with a 104-4 career record with 20 falls, 25 techs and 21 majors, meaning 86 of his 104 wins were for bonus. Starocci was a Hodge Trophy finalist, the 2025 NCAA Championship Most Outstanding Wrestler, the 2025 Big Ten Wrestler of the Year, a 2025 Big Ten Champion and first team All-Big Ten honoree. Starocci leaves Penn State as a five-time NCAA champ, five-time All-American, three-time Big Ten Champion, three-time first team All-Big Ten selection, and the 2021 Big Ten Freshman of the Year. Penn State went 15-0 and won the 2025 Big Ten Regular Season Championship, 2025 Big Ten Championship and 2025 NCAA Championship.
Starocci’s accolades are as follows:
2025 NWCA All-Star Classic Exhibition 2025 Big Ten Champion (184) 2025 First Team All-Big Ten 2025 Big Ten Wrestler of the Year 2025 All-American (184) 2025 National Champion (184) 2025 NCAA Championship Outstanding Wrestler 2025 Big Ten Sportsmanship Award Winner 2025 Penn State Male Athlete of the Year Hodge Trophy Finalist 5X All-American 5X National Champion 3X Big Ten Champion 3X First Team All-Big Ten Big Ten Freshman of the Year
