    Class of 2026 #65 Grace to Oregon State

    The Oregon State staff got their first verbal commitment from the Class of 2026 today as California state placewinner Travis Grace (Gilroy, CA) committed to wrestle for the Beavers. 

    Grace is a three-time Fargo All-American placing sixth in 16U freestyle at 132 lbs in 2021. A year later, he made the 16U freestyle finals at 160 lbs. This year, Grace returned to the podium with a sixth-place finish in Junior freestyle. 

    During the regular season, Grace has qualified for the California State tournament on two occasions. He was eighth at 157 lbs after winning the Central Coast Sectional. 

    Grace wrestles at Gilroy High School which is a program led by US Olympian and UFC legend Daniel Cormier. Cormier and Oregon State head coach Chris Pendleton share the same alma mater (Oklahoma State) so it’s no surprise that the Beavers were in the running for Grace’s services. 

    Look for Grace at the upcoming Super 32. He’ll be one of the key players in the 165 lb weight class. Currently, Grace is ranked #13 nationally at the weight and #65 in the Class of 2026. 

    If you read our latest Weekend Campus Visit Round-Up, you would have known that Grace was in Corvallis for a visit. Grace was joined by California lightweight prospects #46 Nathan Carrillo (St. John Bosco, CA) and #122 Blake Woodward (Buchanan, CA) - along with Ohio heavyweight #94 Alex Taylor (Mount Vernon, OH). 

    Last weekend, Grace was among a large group of recruits at the University of Indiana.
