Melvin Miller Narrows Recruiting List to Six Schools

Over the weekend, we posted a recruiting update for the stars of the Class of 2027. Unfortunately, it proved to be two days early as the top junior in the country made a modification to his recruiting list, while cutting down to six teams. 

2024 U17 World Team member and #1 overall, Melvin Miller (Bishop McCort, PA), used social media to give the wrestling world an update on his recruiting process thus far. Miller’s top six consists of Michigan, Nebraska, Ohio State, Oklahoma State, Penn State, and Virginia Tech. 

Ohio State and Virginia Tech were a pair of schools that did not initially appear on his first recruiting list. Removed during this update were Arizona State, Missouri, NC State, and Pittsburgh. 

At this point, we haven’t been notified of any official campus visits for Miller. That’s not unusual as the visits really got ramped up for the fall over Labor Day weekend. 

Miller’s recruiting situation is unique since he could be a package deal with his brother, Bo Bassett, the #2 overall recruit in the Class of 2026. Bassett initially committed to Iowa, but has since re-opened the recruiting process. 

Miller is expected to be in action in October at the Super 32. He won the 144 lb weight class in 2023 and was third at 157 lbs last year. 

We’ll have more on Miller’s recruiting situation as it develops.
