Oregon State Recruiting Stays Hot with Verbal from #46 Carrillo

Last week was incredible for Oregon State from a recruiting standpoint. Chris Pendleton’s team got three verbal commitments, two from the Class of 2026 and one from the current senior class. Each was from a member of the Big Board and two were of the top-100 variety. 

On Tuesday morning, Oregon State continued their hot recruiting streak with a verbal from Nathan Carrillo (St. John Bosco, CA) the #46 overall recruit in the Class of 2026. 

With Carrillo’s commitment, Oregon State joins NC State as the only school’s with three commitments from the Class of 2026. All three of Oregon State’s are from Big Boarder’s and two are from the top-100. 

Carrillo is a two-time California state qualifier and he medaled for the first time in 2024 after making the 120 lb state finals. 

In addition to his state finish, Carrillo has plenty of national-level credentials. He finished third in freestyle at the UWW U17 Trials in 2022 and third in 16U freestyle in Fargo, later that same year. At California’s signature event, the Doc Buchanan Invitational, Carrillo was fifth in 2023 and fourth this January. 

Carrillo is currently ranked seventh in the nation at 120 lbs and has registered to compete at that weight class at the Super 32. 

It looks like Carrillo will be a 125/133 lb prospect at the next level. While Oregon State has plenty of young talent in that range currently on the roster or as a part of the Class of 2025, you can’t have enough potential 125’s. 

In addition to Oregon State, Carrillo also visited Arizona State.
