#6 Overall Grey Burnett Releases Recruiting List

U17 world bronze medalist, Grey Burnett (Perrysburg, OH), has made his recruiting list public within the last 24 hours. Burnett is the number six overall recruit in the Class of 2027. In MatScouts post-Fargo rankings, Burnett was the top-ranked 120 lber in the nation.

The two-time Ohio DI state champion isn’t messing around. He has already narrowed down his shortlist to three schools: Nebraska, Ohio State, and Penn State. Burnett’s former high-profile high school teammate, Marcus Blaze, is a freshman at Penn State.

Burnett is typically busy on the national scene. This spring, he won the UWW U17 Trials in freestyle and earned his first spot on the world team. He has placed in the top three at that event in each of the previous two years. He is also a two-time placewinner at the Walsh Ironman, taking fourth as a freshman and seventh in 2024. Burnett was also seventh at the 2024 Super 32 after finishing third in 2023. As of now, Burnett does not appear on the Super 32 entry list for 2025.

We’ll see if Burnett continues to go up in weight and projects as a 133 lber or stays in the 125 lb range. Each of the three schools could use a long-term wrestler of Burnett’s caliber at 125 lbs.

To our knowledge, Burnett has yet to take an official visit to any of his three potential choices, but we’ll monitor his whereabouts for our Campus Visit feature.
