#12 Overall Junior Munaretto Commits to Ohio State

One of the top remaining uncommitted juniors in the country, #12 overall Dom Munaretto (St. Charles East, IL), changed his status to committed this afternoon as he gave a verbal to Ohio State University. In addition to Munaretto’s ranking among the Class of 2026, he finished the 2024-25 campaign ranked fourth in the nation at 120 lbs. 

Munaretto is a two-time U17 world champion - winning first in 2022 at 45 kg and again in 2024 at 51 kg, both in freestyle. In 2024, Munaretto also represented the United States at the U17 World Championships in Greco-Roman; however, he did not earn a medal. 

Domestically, Munaretto has placed at the Walsh Ironman on three occasions. He won the 106 lb bracket as a freshman in 2022 and was seventh and third in the following seasons. Munaretto has also made the Super 32 podium twice - taking sixth in 2022 and finishing as a runner-up in 2023. 

Munaretto will be in action next week at the U20 US Open as he is registered at the 57 kg weight class. 

At the next level, Munaretto projects as a 133 lber. Ohio State has Munaretto’s old high school teammate Ben Davino as a true freshman. Davino had an excellent redshirt season going 19-1 and will push for the starting role in 2025-26. He could move up to 141 in the future. 

In addition to Ohio State; Illinois, Indiana, and Nebraska were finalists for Munaretto. Last fall, he visited those four schools along with Arizona State.
