    Oklahoma State signs four

    STILLWATER, Okla. -- Oklahoma State head wrestling coach John Smith announced the signing of four high school seniors today to National Letters of Intent.

    Clayton Foster, Jamal Parks, Luke Silver and Luke Ashmore all signed with the Cowboys. Foster hails from Idaho, while Parks comes to the Cowboys from Tulsa Union High School. Silver and Ashmore join the Cowboys out of Bishop Lynch High School in Dallas.

    Smith has had success recruiting the state of Idaho the past few years where Jake Rosholt was a three-time NCAA champion out of Sandpoint. Foster, a native of Kamiah, Idaho, is the top-ranked wrestler at 189 pounds. He is a 2006 Junior National Champion and will wrestle either 184 or 197 in college.

    Parks is a two-time state champion out of Union where he was the 2006 Junior National Champion. He is the top-ranked wrestler at 135 pounds and projects to wrestle at either 133 or 141 at OSU.

    Ashmore will join his brother Ben at OSU in the fall of 2007. He is ranked second at 145 pounds and is a 2006 Junior National Champion. Ashmore is a three-time National Prep finalist, winning the title as a sophomore. Ashmore will wrestle at 141 or 149 pounds for the Cowboys.

    Silver is ranked fourth in the country by WIN Magazine. Silver became the first wrestler from the state of Texas to win the Super 32 Challenge and is a National Prep All-American. He is projected to wrestle at 149 or 157 pounds at OSU.

    "This class motivates me as much as any class I have signed," Smith said. "All of them are great young student-athletes with great character and a strong wrestling background."

    The current Cowboys open the season on Sunday against California-Davis at 2 p.m. inside Gallagher-Iba Arena.
