#3 Overall Junior Dreshaun Ross Commits to Oklahoma State

The #3 overall recruit in the high school Class of 2026 has made his college decision. Dreshaun Ross (Fort Dodge, IA) has committed to wrestle for David Taylor and the Oklahoma State Cowboys. Ross is a two-time Iowa state champion having won his first state title as a freshman at 195 lbs and his second at 215. 

Outside of Iowa, Ross has been excellent on the freestyle and Greco-Roman circuit. In 2023, Ross won both styles in Fargo at the 16U age group. The previous year he won the freestyle title. Ross is also a two-time freestyle finalist at the UWW U17 World Team Trials. He was second in 2023, but made the 2024 World Team. Unfortunately, Ross was injured and unable to compete at the U17 World Championships. Elijah Diakomihalis replaced him and ended up with a bronze medal. 

That injury sidelined Ross until just a few weeks ago. He has won tournament titles at 215 lbs in each of the last three weeks. 

Ross joins #14 Rocklin Zinkin and #22 Kellen Wolbert in what is shaping up to be an excellent recruiting class for Taylor and the Cowboy staff. Oklahoma State’s 2025 class is also one of the best in the nation. 

At the next level, Ross looks like he’ll grow into the heavyweight class. Currently, there are no young heavyweights on the Cowboys roster. One of their top signees from 2025, #46 Austin Johnson, is projected to wrestle 285 lbs. 

Ross chose Oklahoma State over Iowa, Iowa State, and Penn State. He also took recruiting visits to Northern Illinois, Ohio State, and Oklahoma.
