    No. 23 Courtney second elite commitment to University of Virginia in 2017 recruiting

    Three-time state medalist Brian Courtney (Athens, Pa.) was a known commodity headed into last year's post-season tournaments; however, it was during those tournaments that he went absolutely en fuego. In the PIAA state wrestling tournament, Courtney beat three defending state champions on the way to his state title.

    Having previous finishes of third and second in the state tournament, Courtney first beat Jonathan Gabriel 8-3 in the quarterfinal, then beat Cole Matthews 9-3 in the semifinal, and upended fellow top Class of 2017 prospect Max Murin 3-2 in the championship match. He then added a championship at the Flo Nationals within the month.

    Courtney is ranked No. 23 overall in the Class of 2017, and joins No. 7 Cameron Coy (Penn Trafford, Pa.) as an elite wrestler to be committed to the University of Virginia. He projects to compete at 141 pounds in college.
