Recruiting class rankings are always unique in their own sort of way. This year, the number one spot seemed to be locked up early; however, a furious push from the second-place team ensued. Third was pretty easy to determine, but after that, there were a lot of teams that could make a case for the remainder of the top ten. Then, as you made your way down to the 25 spot, there were a handful of teams that could’ve made a case for their inclusion. 

Some of it came down to how you value quantity over quality. As you peruse the rankings, you’ll see plenty of classes that had both. 

Recruiting rankings mark the end of the respective class and put a bow on the hard work of coaching staffs around the nation. The question you ask is, how are these rankings tabulated? First, we have used the big board rankings courtesy of our sister-site MatScouts. Willie Saylor has taken the arduous task of projecting the top-250 wrestlers in the Class of 2025, making calculating these rankings slightly easier.

Some of the factors that are taken into account when putting these rankings together include:

- Numbers: Where were the signees ranked? How many top-ten, top-50, top-100, top-250, etc., does a school have?

- Fit: After years of following these programs and their coaching staffs, does a particular recruit fit the "type" of kid that has success at their respective team. Or maybe a style of wrestling.

- Filling a need: In years past, I have weighed this very heavily. Signing two highly ranked 184 lb prospects doesn't appear to fit a need when you have a stud sophomore returning at the same weight. 

- Impact on a program: This is subjective, but tends to favor teams that aren't consistent NCAA trophy contenders. If Iowa or Penn State sign the #80 overall recruit and he turns out to AA twice, taking seventh and eighth for them, it has a particular impact. But if Brown or Wyoming sign the same prospect and he has the same career, it will have a much more significant impact on those two programs. Both Brown and Wyoming may have benefitted from this criteria in 2025.

So, with that out of the way, enjoy the second half of InterMat's 2025 Team Recruiting Rankings. 13-25 was posted yesterday. 

12. Pittsburgh

Top Recruits: #41 Vince Bouzakis (Wyoming Seminary, PA), #65 Bode Marlow (Thomas Jefferson, PA), #87 Carson Walsh (Pope John XXIII, NJ), #93 Evan Petrovich (Connellsville, PA), #181 Nico Fanella (Indiana, PA)

This is easily the best recruiting class of the Kevin Gavin-era and probably the best for Pitt since 2016. The class got a late boost as #41 Vince Bouzakis flipped from Ohio State. Bouzakis had a massive junior season, one that saw him win a Junior freestyle title in Fargo, followed by a third place finish at the Super 32 and championships at the Ironman and Powerade. He didn’t compete very often as a senior, so he could end up outwrestling his current ranking. 

The Pitt staff did what they needed to do in retaining Big Boarders from Western Pennsylvania in Bode Marlow, Evan Petrovich, and Nico Fanella. Marlow was a state runner-up in one of the tougher brackets in the country. 

You also have to like the signing of New Jersey state finalist Carson Walsh. The Pitt staff seems to be dipping into Jersey pretty often, of late.

11. North Carolina

Top Recruits: #56 Matt Botello (Wyoming Seminary, MA), #60 Jacob Levy (Lake Highland Prep, GA), #80 Mitchell Younger (Bishop Watterson, OH), #94 Nate Askew (Baylor School, GA), #138 Devon Miller (Edmond North, OK), #147 Luke Sipes (Altoona, PA), NR Liam Hickey (Cardinal Gibbons, NC). 

The second recruiting class under the watchful eye of Rob Koll was almost as good as the first. Four top 100 prospects. Six Big Boarders in total. I usually try to look for consistent recruiting trends with schools - maybe a certain area of the country. North Carolina kind of has guys coming in from everywhere. They did hit the National Prep level pretty hard and ended up signing two 2025 champions, Matt Botello and Jacob Levy. 

The UNC staff had their eyes open in 2024 with a couple of late flips. This year they had two flips from Big Boarders with Devon Miller and Luke Sipes. 

With a massive class in 2024 and this group, combined with transfers, the projected lineup for this year and going forward will include almost all recruits from the Koll-era. 

Recent Recruiting Rankings: 2024 (8), 2023 (NR), 2022 (16), 2021 (21)
 

10. Rutgers

Top Recruits: #25 Tahir Parkins (Nazareth, PA), #40 Devon Magro (Bishop McCort, PA), #69 Jordan Chapman (Cranford, NJ), #98 Billy Townson (Poway, CA), NR Easton Doster (New Haven, IN)

It’ll be back-to-back top ten ranked recruiting classes for Rutgers. Likely for the first time in program history. Once again, the Rutgers staff ventured into Pennsylvania and emerged with a pair of state champions and two of the best seniors in the state. Rutgers also has recently branched out to California and Indiana, those states have produced recruits in 2025, as well. 

Rutgers’ bread-and-butter thus far has been their in-state wrestlers. Keeping Jordan Chapman at home was a strong signing. Chapman has placed at all of the big national events and typically puts up a lot of points along the way. 

Strong recruiting and portal additions will allow the Rutgers staff to redshirt this entire class, if they see fit.

9. Michigan

Top Recruits: #20 Nick Sahakian (St. John Bosco, CA), #32 Eren Sement (Council Rock North, PA), #58 Gauge Botero (Faith Christian Academy, PA), #78 De’Alcapon Veazy (Ponderosa, CO), #108 Cooper Hilton (Wyoming Seminary, PA), #187 Charles Walker (Joliet Central, IL)

It’s hard to believe that Michigan missed out on our recruiting rankings at the beginning of this cycle; however, they are in the top 11 for the third straight season. This year saw Sean Bormet’s team venture into Pennsylvania more than in past year - which is never a bad idea. The Wolverines got a late flip from #32 Eren Sement, who might have been one of the biggest risers in the nation during the 2024-25 season. He went from #107 to #32 over the course of his senior year. 

The top recruit for the Wolverines is Nick Sahakian, who might be the best pure heavyweight prospect in this class. Sahakian also was a flip toward Michigan. He was a U17 World Team member in Greco-Roman and a three-time UWW U17 Trials placer in both styles. Late addition, Charles Walker, is an intriguing prospect who did not place in Illinois at 215 lbs as a junior, but won a loaded 285 lb bracket. 

Three strong recruiting classes in a row will help Michigan restock and could have them relying on the transfer portal less in the future.

8. Iowa

Top Recruits: #7 Leo DeLuca (Blair Academy, NJ), #10 Harvey Ludington (Brick Memorial, NJ), #52 Claudio Torres (Lake Highland Prep, FL), #146 Ty Miller (St. Edward, OH)

A couple of high-profile late flips helped the Hawks get into the top five. Harvey Ludington initially committed to Arizona State and Claudio Torres had signed with Virginia Tech. Both are now headed to Iowa City. The New Jersey duo of Leo DeLuca and Ludington represent a pair of top ten recruits. Iowa now has signed multiple top-ten recruits in back-to-back years. Before 2024, the last time they had two top ten wrestlers in the same class was 2017. That’s a great sign as they are looking to unseat Penn State. 

Not only did Tom Brands’ squad get some high-caliber prospects, but they also come at weights of need. The wrestlers in DeLuca, Ludington, and Torres’ projected weights are heading into their senior seasons. Had they not signed these three, there were no obvious replacements on the roster. Iowa is also currently thin at the upperweight and Ohio’s Miller twins can help out there. Ty is headed straight to Iowa, while Jarrell will go to Iowa Central first. 

Much has been made about Iowa’s foray into the transfer portal for veterans. Getting a class like this with multiple potential superstars could prevent them from having to do that in the future.

7. Nebraska

Top Recruits: #19 Tyler Eise (Ponderosa, CO), #34 Nikade Zinkin (Clovis, CA), #36 Jake Hockaday (Brownsburg, IN), #37 Cade Ziola (Skutt Catholic, NE), #84 Abdi Unle (Omaha Bryan, NE)

One of the most consistent recruiting forces in the nation is Nebraska. Their 19th place ranking in 2024 was their lowest in almost a decade. In 2025, they are in a spot they’re more accustomed to in eighth place. There’s a lot to like about this group for Nebraska. Two of their signees have competed in FloWrestling’s Who’s #1 dual event (Ziola/Eise).  Three have finished in the top three at the Super 32. 

You also have to like the Huskers keeping a pair of top 100 recruits at home. Their home state doesn’t produce Big Boarders at the same rate as other states, so it’s important to grab them when available. 

The Nebraska staff also addressed some potential needs at 141 and 149 with Hockaday and Zinkin, as the starters at both weights will be seniors in 2025-26.

6. NC State

Top Recruits: #8 Daniel Zepeda (Gilroy, CA), #21 Will Denny (Marist, IL), #28 Brogan Tucker (Graham, OH), #85 Casen Howle (Greenwood, SC), #145 Jason Kwaak (Brentwood, NY), NR Xavier Wilson (Eastern Guilford, NC)

NC State has become a mainstay in recruiting rankings and has another high-quality class in 2025. Even with NC State’s success on the recruiting trail. They’ve only inked one top ten prospect since their top-ranked Class of 2016. Now, Daniel Zepeda is another. He’s a three-time California state champion and has the ability to become a cornerstone of the Wolfpack program. 

The next recruits in line, in terms of recruiting rankings, were two of the prospects that seemed to generate less hype than others ranked in the same range - Will Denny and Brogan Tucker. Combined with Zepeda, they could form a formidable 1-2-3 punch in the middle of NC State for years to come. You also have to like getting a local-ish product in the upperweights with Casen Howle, an NHSCA Senior National champion with a long list of national level accolades, despite hailing from South Carolina.

5. Missouri

Top Recruits: #11 Seth Mendoza (Mt. Carmel, IL), #23 Kollin Rath (Bethlehem Catholic, PA), #46 Sampson Stillwell (St. Michael, MO), #48 Dom Bambinelli (Mill Creek, GA), #91 Peyton Westpfahl (Liberty, MO), #99 Danny Heiser (Evansville, WI), #111 David Gleason (Staley, MO), NR Gerald Harris (Cascia Hall, OK), NR Hank Benter (Hickman, MO)

Up until this year, Missouri’s recent recruiting history had them with a huge class one year, then a smaller class the next. Now, they’ve got back-to-back with highly ranked recruiting classes - seventh last year and now sixth in 2025. As you might expect, the Mizzou staff took care of business at home with two top-100 signees from the Show Me State and three Big Boarder’s total. 

Seth Mendoza leads the way and he has remained one of the top wrestlers in the Class of 2025 since setting foot on a high school mat. He’s competed everywhere and typically placed very high. Over the last year, he was a finalist in Fargo (Junior freestyle), the Super 32, and the Ironman. 

Getting Kollin Rath was huge for the Tiger staff on the mat and on the recruiting trail. Rath finished his high school career as the second ranked 157 lber in the country. In the long term, this move has significant recruiting implications. Missouri hadn’t landed a wrestler of Rath’s caliber from Pennsylvania in quite some time (Troy Dolan - 2007?). Getting a foothold into the Pennsylvania landscape is always a good thing.

4. Virginia Tech

Top Recruits: #12 Ryan Burton (St. Joseph’s Regional, NJ), #15 Aaron Seidel (Northern Lebanon, PA), #27 Colin Gaj (Quakertown, PA), #51 Noah Nininger (Staunton River, VA), #55 Drew Gorman (Buford, GA), #92 Ben Weader (Chantilly, VA)

Even a late flip isn’t enough to knock the Hokies from their perch at #4. The coaching staff hit some of the favorite and most fruitful recruiting locations (New Jersey/Pennsylvania/Georgia), while also keeping two of their home states best seniors within their borders. 
Years of great recruiting and transfer portal management have given the Virginia Tech staff the opportunity to redshirt this entire class, if need be. 

The top two recruits for Virginia Tech (Burton/Seidel) both captured Junior freestyle national titles last summer in Fargo. Four future Hokies (Burton/Seidel/Gaj/Gorman) were invited to participate in in FloWrestling’s Who’s #1 Dual. Nininger and Weader both finished top six at the U20 Open in Vegas.

3. Cornell

Top Recruits: #4 Anthony Knox (St. John Vianney, NJ), #9 Jude Correa (Wyoming Seminary, NH), #16 Alessio Perentin (Delbarton, NJ), #30 Rocco Dellagatta (St. Joseph’s Regional, NJ), #33 Isaiah Cortez (Gilroy, CA), #45 Eljiah Cortez (Gilroy, CA), #53 Elijah Diakomihalis (Hilton, NY), #68 Adrian DeJesus (St. Joseph’s Regional, NJ), #236 Jake Conroy (Ringgold, PA)

Eight big boarders - two of which are in the top ten, is a nice haul for a Cornell team that is traditionally a recruiting power. The highest rated of the bunch come at the bookends for Mike Grey’s team. Four-time New Jersey state champion and U20 team member Anthony Knox could start right away at 125 lbs and stay there for a few years. On the other end of the lineup, three-time National Prep champion and Who’s #1 winner Jude Correa awaits. Correa will attempt to become the first Cornell heavyweight to make the NCAA podium. 

In addition to Correa, Cornell also has Rocco Dellagatta and Jake Conroy as big boarders that could end up wrestling heavyweight. Elijah Diakomihalis is another in the line of Diakomihalis boys to wrestle for the Big Red - he should contribute at 184/197. 

Cornell has had success with wrestlers from Grey’s alma mater, Delbarton, and another one in Alessio Perentin, a three-time state champion, should help in the upper middlweights. 

This class, along with existing talent in the room, should help boost Cornell back into NCAA team trophy contention. The Class of 2025 gives Cornell three top-four recruiting classes in the last five years.

2. Oklahoma State

Top Recruits: #3 Ladarion Lockett (Stillwater, OK), #5 Landon Robideau (St. Michael-Albertville, MN), #6 Sergio Vega (Sunnyside, AZ), #24 Cody Routledge (Edmond North, OK), #26 Ronnie Ramirez (Walnut, CA), #50 Austin Johnson (Muncy, PA), #62 Ishmael Guerrero (Bixby, OK), #63 Cruz Goff (Blackwell, OK), #72 Beau Hickman (Tuttle, OK), #205 Ethan Teague (Tuttle, OK)

In many years, this type of talent would be enough to take home the recruiting crown. If you want to call Oklahoma State #1, I’m not mad at that! For the power programs, star power is key and Oklahoma State has plenty of that potential with three top ten prospects and five of the top 30. 

The first full recruiting class under David Taylor featured the Cowboys keeping one of the nation’s most highly-sought after prospects, one from their backyard, home in Ladarion Lockett. They were also able to flip the next three-highest recruits - Landon Robideau (Minnesota), Sergio Vega (Iowa State), and Kody Routledge (Nebraska). Based on talent and the way the lineup could shake out, we might see Lockett in year one. Over the summer, he’ll chase his second consecutive U20 world medal. 

Many expect Oklahoma State to threaten Penn State in the next couple of years, having a group this star-laden will help set the foundation for the team title to come back to Stillwater. 

Recent Recruiting Rankings: 2024 (16), 2023 (1), 2022 (6), 2021 (6)
 

1. Penn State

Top Recruits: #1 PJ Duke (Minisink Valley, NY), #2 Marcus Blaze (Perrysburg, OH), #18 Will Henckel (Blair Academy, CT), #22 Asher Cunningham (State College, PA), #39 Nathan Desmond (Wyoming Seminary, PA), #54 Dalton Perry (Central Mountain, PA)

The rich get richer with back-to-back #1 recruiting classes. Something that hasn’t been done in the era of recruiting rankings (2005-25). Penn State’s top three recruits all earned a spot on the U20 world team and two (Duke/Blaze) already have medals from the 2024 tournament. 

Even though there isn’t a huge “need” compared to other programs for wrestlers at weights like Duke and Henckel, they have the ability to come in, take over and immediately contend. Blaze comes at a weight range (133/141) that is more of an immediate need. He could start in year one. 

Penn State’s track record and hit rate with mega recruits supersedes and thoughts of redundancy with this group. 

Recent Recruiting Rankings: 2024 (1), 2023 (3), 2022 (NR), 2021 (1)

Recruiting class rankings are always unique in their own sort of way. This year, the number one spot seemed to be locked up early; however, a furious push from the second-place team ensued. Third was pretty easy to determine, but after that, there were a lot of teams that could make a case for the remainder of the top ten. Then, as you made your way down to the 25 spot, there were a handful of teams that could’ve made a case for their inclusion. 

Some of it came down to how you value quantity over quality. As you peruse the rankings, you’ll see plenty of classes that had both. 

Recruiting rankings mark the end of the respective class and put a bow on the hard work of coaching staffs around the nation. The question you ask is, how are these rankings tabulated? First, we have used the big board rankings courtesy of our sister-site MatScouts. Willie Saylor has taken the arduous task of projecting the top-250 wrestlers in the Class of 2025, making calculating these rankings slightly easier.

Some of the factors that are taken into account when putting these rankings together include:

- Fit: After years of following these programs and their coaching staffs, does a particular recruit fit the "type" of kid that has success at their respective team. Or maybe a style of wrestling.

- Filling a need: In years past, I have weighed this very heavily. Signing two highly ranked 184 lb prospects doesn't appear to fit a need when you have a stud sophomore returning at the same weight. 

- Impact on a program: This is subjective, but tends to favor teams that aren't consistent NCAA trophy contenders. If Iowa or Penn State sign the #80 overall recruit and he turns out to AA twice, taking seventh and eighth for them, it has a particular impact. But if Brown or Wyoming sign the same prospect and he has the same career, it will have a much more significant impact on those two programs. Both Brown and Wyoming may have benefitted from this criteria in 2025.

So, with that out of the way, enjoy the first half of InterMat's 2025 Team Recruiting Rankings. 13-25. 1-12 will be posted tomorrow. 

25. Iowa State

Top Recruits: #14 Christian Castillo (Ames, IA), #107 Carter Pearson (Southeast Polk, IA), #139 TJ Koester (Bettendorf, IA), NR Jacob Helgeson (Johnston, IA)

Not every class has to have 10 incoming freshmen and eight Big Boarders. It’s difficult to pull off and maybe even more so with roster limits looming. All of that to say, Iowa State doesn’t have a huge class, but that’s not a bad thing. The Cyclones have had some very strong classes of late. That combined with some key transfers doesn’t leave them with many holes. Actually, they’ll have some interesting roster decisions. 

With the Class of 2025, Iowa State did sign U17 world silver medalist and two-time Super 32 champion Christian Castillo. Castillo, an Arizona native, already spent his senior year of high school in Ames and has likely been working closely with the RTC. He’s a great prospect at 125 lbs. 

Aside from Castillo, Kevin Dresser’s team was able to get some quality prospects from in-state with Big Boarders Carter Pearson, TJ Koester, and Jacob Helgeson. 

Recent Recruiting Rankings: 2024 (9), 2023 (10), 2022 (2), 2021 (16)

24. Brown

Top Recruits: #82 Max Norman (Baylor School, TN), #210 Kaleb Jackson (St. Joseph’s Regional, NJ), #224 Preston Marchesseault (Ponaganset, RI), #238 Khimari Manns (St. Edward, OH), NR Riley McPherson (Brecksville, OH)

You have to love the way that Jordan Leen and his staff have been hustling on the recruiting trail since his hire before the 2022-23 season. At that time, Brown had fallen behind some of their Ivy League rivals in the recruiting game; however, now they are in the mix for plenty of Big Board talent. They’ve done so well that there have been a couple of instances where they got in early on a prospect, only to have him picked up by another school later in the game, after he has a breakout. That happened a couple of times this year. Even so, Brown has a good crew coming to Providence. 

Whether it was planned or not, the Brown staff has brought in kids from traditional power programs, ones that they’ll be able to hit again and again over the years. The local New England scene is slowly getting more competitive nationally and Brown seemed ready to take advantage of that. 

Brown’s 2024-25 squad featured four senior starters so this group should be counted on to start early. 

Recent Recruiting Rankings: 2024 (NR), 2023 (NR), 2022 (NR), 2021 (HM)

23. Penn

Top Recruits: #90 Max Stein (Faith Christian Academy, PA), #131 Liam Carlin (Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake, NY), #155 Deven Casey (IC Prep, IL), #164 Elliott Humphries (Northfield Mt. Hermon, MA), #170 Wyatt Stout (Southern Regional, NJ), #228 Greyson Meak (Cold Spring Harbor, NY), #234 Donny Almeyda (St. Joseph’s Regional, NJ), NR Brian Heard (Abingdon Heights, PA)

Of late, Penn has routinely brought in huge recruiting classes. This is more of the same. They’ve also been a regular in the recruiting rankings. Despite some coaching changes in the last couple of years, recruiting has maintained and continued. 

Years of strong recruiting means that this class won’t be pressed into duty immediately; however, since they can’t use redshirts, if one of these recruits can come in and push a starter it makes for a more competitive room. 

Penn continues to dip into New Jersey for talent, while getting some homegrown talent, and reaching into New York, as well. This is a blueprint that the Penn staff continues to follow. 

Recent Recruiting Rankings: 2024 (HM), 2023 (20), 2022 (18), 2021 (23)

22. Purdue

Top Recruits: #70 Noah Weaver (Rossville, IN), #142 Adrian Pellot (Merrillville, IN), #160 Isaiah Schaefer (Mater Dei, IN), #178 Vinny Paino (Emerson-Park Ridge, NJ), #193 Brody Saccoccia (Steubenville, OH), #201 Aidan Costello (Hobart, IN)

Looking at this class combined with the early Class of 2026, it looks like Purdue will continue to be a mainstay in the recruiting rankings. It makes sense as the Boilermakers are coming off a season in which they put multiple wrestlers on the NCAA podium for the first time since 2006. 

The Purdue staff did a great job at making sure their home state’s best wrestlers were kept within its borders. Three of the in-state recruits (Weaver, Pellot, Schaefer) were 2025 state champions. They also did well at filling potential holes in the future. Paino, Costello, and Weaver all are projected at weights where the returning starter is a senior, so they should be ready to go after a redshirt. 

You have to like a school that has seen its recent success translate onto the recruiting trail and can take care of business recruiting at home (along with picking up some others from Big Ten country). 

Recent Recruiting Rankings: 2024 (NR), 2023 (13), 2022 (NR), 2021 (20)

21. Navy

Top Recruits: #42 Caedyn Ricciardi (St. Peter’s Prep, NJ), #148 Tyler Hood (St. Christopher’s, VA), #167 Evan Boblits (St. Mary’s Ryken, MD), #202 Nikos Filipos (Wyoming Seminary, PA), NR Coltyn Reedy (Sheridan, OH), NR Gavin Cole (Council Rock South, PA)

The Navy recruiting classes tend to be large and this one is no different. It is headed up by one of the more overlooked stars in the top-50 two-time New Jersey champion and three-time finalist Caedyn Ricciardi. Ricciardi is also a three-time Beast of the East finalist and one-time champ. 

As can often be the case, the Navy staff looked to the National Prep ranks to find a handful of recruits - Tyler Hood, Evan Boblits, and Nikos Filipos. All three were National Prep AA’s in 2025 and Hood was a finalist, while Boblits was third, both at the 150 lb weight class. 

Navy is back in the mix after missing out on the rankings in each of the last two seasons. I’d expect them to be in the rankings next year, as well. 

Recent Recruiting Rankings: 2024 (NR), 2023 (NR), 2022 (21), 2021 (18)

20. South Dakota State

Top Recruits: #77 Jacob Herm (Neenah, WI), #89 Micah Hach (Watertown, SD), #177 Liam Neitzel (Hudson, WI), #190 Zach Ballante (St. Joseph’s Regional, NJ), #192 Carson Dupill (Greeneville, TN), #200 Bas Diaz (Waverly-Shell Rock, IA), #212 Jarrett Wadsen (St. Michael-Albertville, MN), #214 Keenan Sheridan (O’Gorman, SD), #242 Conlan Carlson (Willmar, MN)

Oftentimes, in recruiting, the number of swings at the pinata is an important factor. There are bound to be some wrestlers who don’t live up to their pre-collegiate credentials, but if you get a large number of quality recruits some will work out. 

South Dakota State has the numbers with a ridiculous nine(!) Big Boarders. They were able to keep their home state’s best prospect within their borders with the signing of Micah Hach. Hach was an NHSCA Junior champion and a Fargo Junior finalist in Greco; however, they will have to share him with the football team. Two of the three highest-ranked recruits for Damion Hahn’s team come from Wisconsin, a state they’ve added to their normal recruiting rotation. The highest-ranked of the bunch is Jacob Herm, who has shined in Greco, but was fifth at the Super 32 last fall. 

The Jackrabbits have recruited well of late, so they don’t go into 2025-26 with any major holes in the lineup. A large group like this should let them redshirt everyone and continue to build depth and create quality DI wrestlers that might have initially been overlooked.

19. Wyoming

Top Recruits: #38 Lane Foard (Benedictine, VA), #86 Gunner Henry (Brownsburg, IN), #100 Luke Willochell (Greater Latrobe, PA), #199 Isaiah Harrison (Mountain View, CO), #229 Brad Farrer (Pleasant Grove, UT)

Make it four straight years with Wyoming getting at least a mention in our recruiting rankings. The Cowboys chug along with three top 100 recruits and five Big Boarders. National Prep champion Lane Foard and NHSCA Sophomore champion Gunner Henry will make the Cowboy upperweights even more formidable than they are presently. Two-time Pennsylvania state finalist Luke Willochell is the younger brother of Wyoming national qualifier, Gabe. 

With recruits from Virginia, Indiana, and Pennsylvania, Wyoming continues to widen its recruiting bases. They’ve also found a way to stay true to their normal recruiting turf (Colorado/Utah). 

The additions of Foard/Henry in particular fall into a familiar pattern for Wyoming. They had homegrown All-Americans from the recruiting classes of 2022 and 2023, who were both ranked between #55 and #65 in their recruiting classes. Slightly overlooked, but also experienced on a national level.

18. Army West Point

Top Recruits: #49 Joseph Antonio (St. John Bosco, CA), #136 Charles Weidman (Xavier, CT), #182 Cadell Lee (Brooke Point, VA), #191 Ben Smith (NY Military Academy, NY), NR Johnny Green (Aurora, OH), NR Hayden Hochstrasser (Southern Regional, NJ), NR Evan Roudebush (Bloomington South, IN), NR Josh Vasquez (Aurora Christian, IL), NR Primo Catalano (Chaminade, CA)

New head coach Troy Nickerson has a lot to work with between the existing talent in the room and the wrestlers on their way to West Point from the Class of 2025 (and beyond). Past Army recruiting classes have been filled with Big Boarders, but not many in the top half of the top 100. That is remedied with the pickup of two-time California state finalist Joseph Antonio. Antonio was a Super 32 finalist prior to his junior year in high school. 

On the other hand, Army does very well at developing non-blue chip recruits, so their past history gives them a slight bump when it comes to the recruits they’ve locked down outside of the top 50. It’s a testament to the West Point staff that Army has been a regular in the recruiting rankings, moreso than some from the traditional power conferences.

Northern Iowa hasn’t been a regular in the recruiting rankings. More often than not, the Panthers find overlooked gems and develop them into strong collegiate wrestlers. Now, Doug Schwab’s staff has a pair of top-100 recruits and four Big Boarders to work with. 

Top recruit, Logan Paradice, was a two-time top-four finisher at the Super 32 and was a three-time Georgia state champion. Kyler Knaack was the highest-ranked senior in the state of Iowa and a huge pickup for the Panthers. Knaack was a double 16U Fargo champion and a runner-up last year at the UWW U17 Trials.

16. Virginia

Top Recruits: #29 Emmitt Sherlock (Gilman, MD), #67 Jayce Paridon (Lake Highland Prep, FL), #154 Ethan Timar (St. Edward, OH), #194 Aiden King (Bishop Hartley, OH), #204 Macon Ayers (Staunton River, VA), #207 Rocco Hayes (Carl Sandburg, IL), #227 Adam Butler (St. Edward, OH)

The UVA staff got in on Emmitt Sherlock early and he ended up becoming the talk of the 2024 UWW U17 Trials with titles in both styles. Sherlock went on to the U17 World Championships, competed in both styles, and advanced to the bronze medal match in freestyle. 

Virginia’s other top 100 recruit, Jayce Paridon, was a late flip from Army West Point. With a loaded Lake Highland Prep schedule, Paridon hit all of the big tournaments and won National Preps, the Powerade, and NHSCA Senior Nationals. 

This group also features a duo from St. Edward, Ohio - Ethan Timar and Adam Butler. St. Ed’s has been one of the most consistent producers of talent at the high school level and a place where UVA has a long tradition of finding talent.

15. Indiana

Top Recruits: #35 Carson Thomas (LaSalle, OH), #79 Jackson Blum (Lowell, MI), #113 Hunter Sturgill (Baylor School, TN), #119 Gavin Jendreas (Crown Point, IN), #121 Matt Kowalski (Springboro, OH), NR Anthony Gutierrez (St. Charles East, IL)

Indiana is becoming a regular in the recruiting rankings thanks to coach Angel Escobedo and his staff. They have back-to-back top 15 classes, which is also coming on the heels of the first All-American of Escobedo’s tenure. 

The highest-ranked wrestler in this class is Carson Thomas who skipped his final season of collegiate wrestling to train at the OTC. In between his junior and senior seasons, Thomas was third at the UWW U17 Trials and Fargo Junior freestyle before winning the Super 32. He’s an excellent pickup for the Hoosiers. 

Looking at Indiana’s class, they’ve been able to nab top prospects from a handful of their neighboring Big Ten states. That is in addition to inking Indiana state finalist and Fargo All-American Gavin Jendreas. 

If Indiana can continue to stack recruiting classes like these on top of each other they’ll continue to move up in a loaded conference. 

Recent Recruiting Rankings: 2024 (14), 2023 (HM), 2022 (NR), 2021 (NR)

14. Stanford

Top Recruits: #13 Angelo Posada (Poway, CA), #95 Brokton Borelli (Los Banos, CA), #109 Edwin Sierra (Poway, CA), #114 Dylan Pile (Los Gatos, CA), #196 Adam Mattin (Delta, OH)

After three incredible classes for Stanford, there aren’t too many holes in the potential Cardinal lineup for 2025-26. Hence a smaller recruiting class in 2025. The class is small on numbers, but big on talent. 

Angelo Posada is someone who has continued to grow and get better as he’s moved up in weight. Since last summer he won Fargo Junior freestyle, the Super 32, and the Doc B. He also was selected for Who’s #1 and won at the Pittsburgh Wrestling Classic. Also, staying at home are, Brokton Borelli, Edwin Sierra, and Dylan Pile. Each finished in the top-three in California last year. 

The future (and the present) is very exciting for Stanford wrestling. 

Recent Recruiting Rankings: 2024 (2), 2023 (8), 2022 (5), 2021 (NR)

13. Oregon State

Top Recruits: #71 Manny Saldate (SLAM Academy, NV), #83 Anthony Mutarelli (Council Rock South, PA), #88 Khale McDonnell (Fountain Valley, CA), #117 Koy Davidson (Fort Dodge, IA), #135 Beau Priest (Bakersfield, CA), #153 Adrien Reyes (Clovis, CA), #195 Jeff Lopez (Clovis West, CA)

Since Chris Pendleton took over in the spring of 2020, recruiting in California has been a priority for Oregon State. That is very evident with the Class of 2025. Khale McDonnell, Beau Priest, Adrien Reyes, and Jeff Lopez all finished in the top four, at one time or another, at the state tournament. McDonnell and Lopez have been finalists. 

Not only has Oregon State dominated recruiting in California, but they’ve also done well with the West Coast, in general. The top recruit, Manny Saldate, is from Nevada and seemingly goes to and places at every national tournament. 

Oregon State was patient and waited till late in the game (for today’s standards) to receive a commitment from Pennsylvania AAA state champion Anthony Mutarelli. 

Recent Recruiting Rankings: 2024 (NR), 2023 (15), 2022 (22), 2021 (NR)

In early January, we released an article entitled “Recruiting in 2024-25: The Year of the Flip.” At that point in time, 18 of the top 200 wrestlers from the Class of 2025 had flipped their commitment from one school to another. 

On Sunday night, the #2 overall recruit in the Class of 2026, Bo Bassett, turned the wrestling world upside down (or primarily the social media world) when he decommitted from Iowa. While Bassett hasn’t actually flipped to another school, it will be forthcoming. Once that happens, he’ll be the seventh Big Board wrestler from the Class of 2026 and the second top-three overall recruit to do so. 

As we’re still a few days away from July and four months away from signing day, there will be at least five wrestlers from the Class of 2026 who have flipped commitments. Based on recent history and the way college athletics is trending, I’d imagine that list will grow exponentially within the next year. 

Below is our list of wrestlers from the Class of 2026 who have already flipped commitments. For comparison’s sake, underneath that is a list of wrestlers from the top 50 in the Class of 2025 who flipped at one point or another.

InterMat's Class of 2025 Recruiting Rankings are way overdue - but also will be released very soon. Before they are posted, take a look back at some recent recruiting history. Team recruiting rankings from 2021-2024. Surpisingly enough, only six schools (Iowa, NC State, Nebraska, Ohio State, Oklahoma State, Virginia Tech) have made the rankings in all of the past four years. Penn made it once as an honorable mention and then was ranked the other three seasons. It's hard to consistently bring in ranked recruiting classes every single year. Will any/all of these appear in the 2025 version?

On Sunday evening, the high school and collegiate wrestling world got thrown for a loop as Bo Bassett, the #2 overall recruit in the Class of 2026, announced that he was reopening his recruiting process. In early February, Bassett committed to the University of Iowa. 

With Bassett back on the market, it seems like a good time to check in on recruiting from the Class of 2026 and see which teams have high profile verbals (all are verbals at this point) and who is still on the market. 

Below are the top 50 recruits from the Class of 2026 and where they’ve committed. At the end are the top 50 recruits who are uncommitted at this point - surprisingly it’s a very short list!

#2 Bo Bassett (Bishop McCort, PA)

#29 JayDen Williams (Roseville, MI)

Earlier this evening, Bo Bassett, the #2 overall recruit in the Class of 2026 announced via social media that he has decommitted from the University of Iowa. 

Bassett committed to Iowa in early February after a long process that saw him initially list about 80 schools on a graphic. Each week, he dropped a couple of schools from his list until he got a final group that included Iowa, Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma State, Penn State, Rutgers, and Virginia Tech. Bassett later acknowledged that his final four included Iowa, Oklahoma State, Penn State, and Virginia Tech. Presumably, those other three have an inside track for his services. 

Since his commitment in February, Bassett won his second Pennsylvania AA state title and was third at the U20 US Open. A month later, Bassett went 1-2 at the Senior World Team Trials. He did post a win over 2024 NCAA runner-up Beau Bartlett. Bassett then went to the U20 Trials and advanced to the best-of-three finals, where he fell to Lehigh All-American  Luke Stanich in three matches. Stanich was also the opponent who defeated him at the US Open.

Not only does Iowa lose Bassett, but they are likely playing catch-up in the recruiting process for Bassett’s brother Melvin Miller, the top recruit in the Class of 2027. Younger brother Keegan is also a strong prospect in the Class of 2028. 

We’ll certainly have more about the developments in this portion of the Bassett recruiting saga.

Recruiting in the Class of 2027 is off and running! Sunday the 15th of June marked the first day that college coaches could have official contact with rising high school juniors. Today, we had the first commitment from the Class of 2027 as two-time Iowa 3A state champion Nico DeSalvo (Southeast Polk, IA) committed to Minnesota. 

DeSalvo is the #72 ranked prospect in the Class of 2027. He was ranked #13 in the nation at 113 lbs in the post NHSCA rankings, but is currently not in MatScouts national rankings. 

In addition to his two Iowa state titles, DeSalvo was third in 16U freestyle in Fargo in 2023. Before his sophomore season, DeSalvo finished third at USAW’s Preseason Nationals. 

Minnesota already has an excellent Class of 2026 recruiting class lined up with six top 200 recruits - four of which are in the top 100. 

DeSalvo projects at 125 lbs which is a weight where Minnesota doesn’t have a long-term answer. 

These are Minnesota’s recruits from the Class of 2026 and 2027: Click Here

June 15th was not only Father’s Day, but it also marked the first time college coaches could have official contact with high school recruits from the Class of 2027. The top recruit from that rising junior class is Melvin Miller of Bishop McCort, Pennsylvania. 

As expected, Miller was busy on day one of the new recruiting cycle. Since then, Miller has come out with a list of his top nine schools. Miller’s list includes Arizona State, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, NC State, Nebraska, Oklahoma State, Penn State, and Pitt. 

One might assume that Iowa is the clubhouse leader as they have a commitment from his older brother, Bo Bassett, the #3 overall recruit in the Class of 2026. 

Miller is a two-time Fargo freestyle champion - once at the 16U level and once in the Junior division. Last year, Miller earned a spot on the U17 World Team and competed in the bronze medal match at 71 kg. Within the last year, Miller has made the Ironman finals and finished third at the Super 32. At the U20 Open in April, Miller battled now-Senior world team member PJ Duke in the finals before falling, 8-5. A few weeks later, at the U20 Trials, Miller made the finals of the challenge tournament but fell to Class of 2025 recruit Landon Robideau. 

At the next level, Miller could project as a 174 lber. 

We’ll follow Miller’s recruiting process closely in the coming weeks and months.

While the news of the evening on Wednesday was the flip of #52 Claudio Torres (Lake Highland Prep, FL) to Iowa, there have been a couple of key commitments from the Class of 2026 that you shouldn’t overlook. 

Cornell and Purdue already have impressive groups of commitments from the Class of 2026; however, that didn’t stop them from adding to them within the last 24 hours. 

Purdue kept a strong prospect in-state as they got a commitment from #112 Parker Reynolds (Brownsburg, IN). Reynolds is a two-time Indiana state placer taking sixth as a sophomore and winning a state championship at 150 lbs in 2025. He’s currently ranked #25 in the nation at that weight. After the 2024 season, Reynolds finished fifth at NHSCA Sophomore Nationals. 

Reynolds’ commitment gives Purdue five of the top 112 wrestlers in the country. The class is led by #31 Camden Baum (Bishop McDevitt, PA). 

Reynolds also took visits to George Mason and Indiana before settling on Purdue. 

At the next level, Reynolds projects as a 157 or 165 lber. 165, in particular, is a need for the Boilermakers who have some young wrestlers waiting in the wings, but no definite successor to Stoney Buell, whose eligibility expires in 2026. 

Cornell tends to recruit well in head coach Mike Grey’s home state of New Jersey and that continues with the commitment of Santino Rodriguez (Don Bosco Prep, NJ). Rodriguez is a two-time New Jersey state placewinner. As a freshman, he was sixth in the 120 lb weight class. In 2025, he was third all the way up at 165 lbs. Rodriguez has placed at the NHSCA grade-level tournament in each of the last two seasons, taking fifth in the sophomore division and second a year later. 

Rodriguez is currently ranked #144 in the Class of 2026. His commitment gives Grey’s team verbals from eight top 200 prospects! Cornell’s Class of 2026 has plenty of 149/157 types, but Rodriguez should end up around 174 or higher once he gets to Ithaca. With freshman All-American Simon Ruiz returning at 174 lbs, that weight doesn’t look like a dire need for the Big Red; however, weights can change and a little competition never hurt. 

Earlier this month, Rodriguez took a visit to Ivy League rival Columbia - in addition to his trip to Ithaca.

Just a few days ahead of the release of our recruiting rankings, Iowa made a late push as they picked up a great prospect from the Class of 2025. The #52 overall recruit in the Class of 2025, Claudio Torres (Lake Highland Prep, FL) has flipped from his commitment to Virginia Tech and will sign with the Hawkeyes. 

Torres finished his high school career ranked sixth in the nation at 165 lbs. He was one of seven National Prep champions in 2025 for Lake Highland Prep. That helped the school earn their first team title at the tournament. The individual championship was the second of Torres’ career. 

In addition to his National Prep title, Torres also finished seventh at the Super 32, third at the Ironman, and was a champion at the Beast of the East - all during the 2024-25 campaign. 

All told, Torres was a four-time Fargo placer earning All-American honors twice in Junior freestyle. 

Torres’ addition now gives Tom Brands’ team four of the top 60 seniors in the nation. He’ll join #7 Leo DeLuca (NJ), #10 Harvey Ludington (NJ), #59 Jarrel Miller (OH), and #146 Ty Miller (OH) in the Hawkeyes Class of 2025. 

Torres projects at 165 or 174 at the next level. Iowa will certainly need help in 2026-27 at 165 lbs as NCAA finalist Michael Caliendo is getting ready to use his final year of eligibility.

Minnesota’s Class of 2026 continues to grow after a huge commitment from one of the fastest-rising prospects in the senior class. #39 overall Michael White (Lawrence North, IN) has given the Gophers staff a verbal commitment - giving Minnesota four top 100 recruits from the Class of 2026 and six Big Boarders overall. 

White is currently ranked 21st in the nation at 190 lbs. He is a two-time Indiana state placewinner, taking sixth as a sophomore and making the state finals at 190 lbs in 2025. 

White burst onto the scene last spring when he won a 16U title at Folkstyle Nationals. Last fall, White was a finalist at IndianaMat’s Hoosier Preseason Open. After making the Indiana state finals, White went out and captured a championship at NHSCA Junior Nationals. A month later, he finished seventh at the UWW U17 World Team Trials in freestyle. 

While White announced his commitment today, he is not kicking back and celebrating. At least in the traditional sense. White is competing at the NHSCA Duals and knocked off #2 Saleh Tsarni (MD) in the tournament’s Round of 16. 

Already in the Gopher Class of 2026 are #25 Tyler Dekraker (Chantilly, VA), #79 Mason Carlson (Syracuse, UT), #93 Cooper Rowe (Mound Westonka, MN), #121 Titan Friederichs (Watertown, MN), #200 Trey Beissel (Hastings, MN), along with unranked Joel Friederichs (Watertown, MN. The majority of these recruits are in the 133/141/149 range, so White’s addition will be much needed. The Gophers graduated Big Ten champion and All-American Isaiah Salazar at 197 lbs. His immediate replacement is likely redshirt sophomore Gavin Nelson. Having White aboard shores up this weight for the long term. 

This spring, White had also taken visits to Oklahoma, Purdue, and Virginia Tech before choosing Minnesota. 

White jumped into MatScouts Class of 2026 Big Board at #39 despite not being noted at all during the last update. We’ll see how this young man continues to ascend.

On Monday morning, MatScouts released the latest update to the Big Board for the Class of 2026. This one is extremely important as it catches the rising seniors in the summer before their final year of high school. Even though there is only one year of high school competition left for these wrestlers to see their stock rise, it is enough time for such a feat to happen. 

There has been plenty of movement since the last time it was updated, so let’s go team-by-team to see where each school's recruits have landed. 

Below are the current rankings for members of the Class of 2026 Big Board who have already committed to wrestle at the next level.

Minnesota got some good news on the recruiting front this morning as their staff received a verbal commitment from the #25 overall recruit in the Class of 2026 Tyler Dekraker (Chantilly, VA). Dekraker was previously committed to Big Ten rival Ohio State. Dekraker is currently ranked #11 in the nation at 132 lbs. 

Dekraker is coming off a season where he made the Beast of the East finals and finished fourth at the Powerade. He would later move up a weight class prior to the high school postseason and won a Virginia 6A title at 138 lbs.  In the spring and summer of 2024, Dekraker earned All-American honors at the UWW U17 Trials and in Fargo. At U17’s he was third in freestyle and then was fifth in Junior freestyle in Fargo. That marked the second time he placed at UWW’s and the third time for Fargo. 

Minnesota will go into the 2025-26 campaign with two-time All-American Vance Vombaur as the starter at 141 lbs - Dekraker’s projected weight. They also have a commitment from the Class of 2026 at this weight, #79 Mason Carlson (Syracuse, UT). Perhaps the Gopher staff has different weight projections for the pair. 

With Dekraker’s commitment, Minnesota now has three top 100 recruits in the fold for the Class of 2026 and five Big Boarder’s total. 

While in the initial recruiting process, Dekraker took campus visits to Ohio State and Minnesota, along with Arizona State, NC State, Oklahoma, Penn State, Pittsburgh, and Virginia Tech.

This morning, live on FloWrestling, the top two remaining uncommitted prospects from the Class of 2026,#7 Jayden and #6 Jordyn Raney (Union Co. KY), made their college commitments. The Raney twins will be a package deal and wrestle for Oklahoma State University. 

Each twin has a ton of national and international credentials; however, they both have shined most in Greco-Roman. Both have won U17 world championships and Jayden captured a title in 55 kg at the US Open, which guarantees him a slot on the 2025 Senior World Team. 

Jayden is a three-time Ironman placer finishing eighth as a freshman, seventh as a sophomore, and made the finals in 2024. He’s been a double 16U champion in Fargo in both years he’s attended. Last spring, Raney made the UWW U17 Trials finals in both freestyle and Greco. 

Jordyn also was a double UWW U17 finalist in 2024 - but he made teams in both styles. At the U17 World Championships, he was a bronze medalist in Greco and wrestled for a medal in freestyle. He also has finished fifth at the Ironman on two occasions and was a Super 32 finalist. 

In the most recent national rankings released by MatScouts (without the Class of 2025), Jordyn was first in the nation at 138 lbs and Jadyn was second at 132 lbs. 

The Class of 2026 is shaping up to be loaded for David Taylor and company at Oklahoma State. #2 Jax Forrest (Bishop McCort, PA) and #3 Dreshaun Ross (Fort Dodge, IA) have already committed to the Cowboys. The Raney’s addition will give them four of the top seven prospects in the country. 

With an excellent recruiting Class of 2025 on the way to Stillwater and existing talent in the room, it is difficult to see where the Raney’s will fit by the time they’re college-ready. Oklahoma State already has a ton of talent in the lower weights.

The Raney’s final five schools included Illinois, Iowa, Ohio State, and Nebraska - along with Oklahoma State.

With the high school Class of 2025 largely ready to graduate, it’s about time to look ahead to the next recruiting classes. In turning my attention to the Class of 2026, I noticed one school has been putting together an excellent recruiting class, if not a bit under the radar. That class grew yesterday as they received their fifth commit from a Class of 2026 Big Boarder.

Northwestern has had a rough couple of years with a handful of injuries and a 14th-place finish at the 2024 Big Ten Championships, followed by a 12th-place finish in 2025. In Philadelphia, the Wildcats crowned their first All-American in two seasons as Trevor Chumbley had an improbable run to the NCAA semifinals, before settling into fourth place. The momentum generated by Chumbley’s postseason and a solid Class of 2025, followed by what looks like a great Class of 2026, could be the spark that head coach Matt Storniolo needs to consistently stay in the top half of the conference. 

Let’s look more closely at the group that Storniolo has waiting in the wings in the Class of 2026. 

#25 Ryder Wilder (GA), #29 Will Detar (PA), #68 Jaxon Miller (IA), #73 Peter Snyder (MD), and the most recent addition #154 Trayvn Boger (UT). 

Storniolo and staff have obviously been looking to improve the back half of their lineup as Boger projects as a heavyweight and Snyder/Wilder could be 184/197, while Miller could go 174/184. 

Looking into the accolades for each of Northwestern’s current commits, Wilder has a long list of high-level credentials. He’s won the NHSCA grade-level tournament as a freshman and junior. Last spring, he was third in both styles at the UWW U17 Trials and he finished top three in both styles in Fargo in 2023. 

Detar recently locked up a spot on the U17 World Team in Greco-Roman. He’s placed four times at the 16U age group in Fargo with a national title in both styles. Detar will be chasing his first PA state title as a senior, but has finished top-three in each of his first three seasons. 

Jaxon Miller won his first Iowa 3A state title this year after making the finals as a sophomore. He was a champion at Preseason Nationals last year and fourth in 16U Greco-Roman in Fargo a few months before that. 

Peter Snyder was seventh in Junior freestyle heading into his junior year of high school. After that, he was eighth at the Ironman and made the Beast finals.

Boger was a member of the 2024 U17 World Team in Greco a year after falling in the Trials finals. During the high school season, Boger was a finalist at the Doc Buchanan and fifth at the Ironman. In 2023, Boger was seventh in both styles in Fargo at the 16U age group. 

I’m sure that Storniolo and staff are not done with the Class of 2026 recruiting, but this is an excellent start. 

The Wildcats Class of 2025 was recently tabbed 25th in the nation in MatScouts Recruiting Rankings (InterMat’s will be coming in the next few weeks). That class includes #31 Billy Dekraker (VA), #166 Alex Smith (FL), and #226 Anthony Rinehart (IN).

After the US Open recruiting and commitments have picked up again. Some programs are finding last-minute gems from the Class of 2025 to round out their roster, while others are squarely focused on the Class of 2026 and even have an eye toward the rising juniors. Whatever the strategy, a handful of teams got better this week, while not necessarily getting verbals from top ten overall prospects. Since these were not of that ilk, their commitments may have gotten overlooked slightly. Here’s more about the last week in recruiting. 

Leading the way was Virginia Tech who got a commitment from the Class of 2026’s #64 Alex Rozas (Teurlings Catholic, LA) and flipped #42 Jonathan Rocha (Clovis North, CA) from Purdue). In MatScouts latest rankings, without the Class of 2025, Rozas is currently ranked eighth in the nation at 120 lbs and Rocha is ranked third at 190 lbs. Rozas is a three-time NHSCA age-group All-American - highlighted by a Junior title this year. He was also a finalist in 2024 at UWW U17 Trials in freestyle. Rocha also won NHSCA’s (as a sophomore) and was fourth at the Super 32 last fall. Rozas could start his collegiate career at 125 lbs, while Rocha should help out at 184 and 197 lbs. 

Speaking of Purdue, despite the flip, the Boilermakers got better with a pair of commitments from ranked juniors. Three-time state finalist and one-time champion #132 Nathan Rioux (Avon, IN) will stay in-state and wrestle for Tony Ersland’s team. Outside of his home state, Rioux has excelled at Fargo earning All-American honors on five different occasions. Last summer, he was fourth in Junior freestyle and seventh in Junior Greco. His most recent state title came at 126 lbs and he’s currently ranked #12 in the country at 132 lbs. The other “get” for Purdue was Drake Hooiman (SLAM Academy, NV). Hooiman is a three-time Nevada state champion who got on the national radar after a runner-up finish at the 2024 Powerade Invitational in Western Pennsylvania. 

Little Rock got their fourth commitment from a Big Boarder from the Class of 2026 as they added #191 Tre Haines (Arlington, WA) to an already impressive recruiting class. Haines will be looking for his fourth Washington state title in 2026. Haines has earned All-American honors twice in Fargo in Greco-Roman. He was sixth at the Junior level in 2024 and fifth at 16U’s in 2022. Though he won his most recent state title at 157 lbs, Haines could project as high as 174 for the Trojans. 

California Baptist continued its “sneaky good” recruiting with a commitment from Jackson Butler (Bishop McCort, PA). Butler was a state eighth-place finisher in 2024 at 145 lbs. Because of McCort’s stacked lineup, he did not compete in the 2025 postseason. Even so, Butler headed down to NHSCA’s and finished eighth in the Junior tournament at 145 lbs, his third time on the NHSCA podium. Butler is the second Pennsylvania native, joining Max Wirnsberger, to commit to the Lancers in the Class of 2026. 

George Mason continued their run of strong recruiting with a Big Boarder from the Class of 2026 in #128 Jeffrey Huyvaert (New Prairie, IN). Huyvaert is a three-time Indiana state placer. He has finished fifth in each of the last two seasons. His commitment now gives the Patriots four Big Boarders from the Class of 2026. 

Oklahoma continued to return to a Minnesota pipeline that has been very generous during the short Roger Kish era. Their latest addition from the Land of 10,000 Lakes is undefeated state champion Christian Jelle (Grand Rapids, MI). Though Jelle isn’t currently on the Big Board, he was listed as the #16 ranked 138 lber in the latest rankings. Last fall, Jelle bonus point’ed his way through Preseason Nationals.

It’s May and we’re getting close to the end of the high school year. Graduations will come soon and the Class of 2025 will be moving on to college. At the DI level, some schools are trying to fill out their Class of 2025 recruiting, but most have moved on to the Class of 2026. 

Because of the current landscape of recruiting, a lot of the top current juniors/rising seniors are already off the board. 42 of the top 50 wrestlers from the Class of 2026 have already given verbal commitments. So, who are the biggest names left on the board for 2026? 

We have the answer to that question along with some information about each - along with any sort of current recruiting insight we have obtained. 
 

#6 Jayden Raney (Union County, Kentucky): #2 at 132 lbs

#7 Jordyn Raney (Union County, Kentucky): #1 at 138 lbs

The Raney’s appear to be a package deal and are easily the most coveted Class of 2026 recruits still on the market. I would expect their landing spot to have some sort of built-in Greco-Roman infrastructure as both twins have won U17 world championships and Jayden has secured a spot on the 2025 Senior World Team at 55 kg. The pair have combined to win four UWW U17 national titles and five in Fargo. 

Illinois and Iowa have had the most buzz surrounding these two. They have visited both campuses along with Nebraska and Oklahoma State. Should the Raney’s pick Illinois it would be a huge coup as the other three choices are perennially among the top recruiting schools in the country. 
 

#23 Coby Merrill (JW North, California): #2 at 285 lbs

The last time we saw Coby Merrill in action he finished fifth at the U20 Open in freestyle. Merrill was able to get a 9-0 win over the opponent who finished third (Koy Hopke/Minnesota). Earlier this year, Merrill ran the table and went undefeated to be the first California state champion for his high school. 

With an older brother (Cody) as a freshman at Oklahoma State, it’s easy to assume that Coby would be a shoo-in for the Cowboys. I don’t think that’ll be the case. During the fall, Merrill took visits to Cornell, Princeton, and Stanford. With those types of options, Coby might opt for a school that is Ivy or Ivy adjacent. 

#28 JayDen Williams (Roseville, Michigan): #2 at 165 lbs

Of the top-30 type recruits, JayDen Williams does not get the hype that many others get. Williams is a three-time Michigan finalist and a champion for the first time in 2025. Last summer, he was a 16U freestyle runner-up in Fargo. In the preseason, he’s made the finals of the last two Grappler Fall Classic’s. 

Earlier this week, Williams posted a graphic on Instagram that includes his offers thus far. They come from: Arizona State, Chattanooga, Central Michigan, Harvard, Indiana, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Morgan State, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Princeton, and West Virginia. That’s a wide array of potential suitors. 

During the preseason, Williams took a visit to Michigan if you can read anything into that. 
 

#46 Jon Rulo (Belleville East, Illinois): #7 at 285 lbs

Another big man on this list, Jon Rulo, is someone we might lose to football. Rulo was a first-team All-State honoree this year and has received interest from Big Ten schools on the gridiron. Who knows, we have seen a few big men try to mix both of late. 

On the mat, Rulo won an Illinois 3A state title in 2025 - after taking third the previous year. Last summer, in Fargo, Rulo was a double 16U national champion. 

As of now, we’re not aware of any visits or anything wrestling-wise associated with Rulo. 

The following three wrestlers will probably drop a bit - perhaps out of the top 50 during the next Big Board update. They are currently uncommitted and still among the best rising seniors without a collegiate home as of yet. 

#36 Lincoln Sledzianowski (St. John Neumann, Florida)

Lincoln Sledzianowski started his high school career at Bishop McCort but moved back to his native Florida and captured a 1A state title at 132 lbs in 2025. Sledzianowski is not currently ranked, but is a past Greco world team member and has earned All-American honors in Fargo on two occasions. 

#41 Walker Turley (St. Christopher’s, Virginia)

An NHSCA Freshman National title helped Walker Turley get noticed and a spot on the Big Board, initially. Turley has made the All-American stand at the National Prep Championships in each of his first three years of high school. He was eighth as a freshman and third in the two years that followed. 

Turley is the younger brother of Rutgers All-American Jackson Turley. I’d expect Rutgers to be in the mix for the younger Turley, among others. 

#43 Denari Mickell (Erie McDowell, Pennsylvania) 

Denari Mickell was an Iowa state runner-up in each of his first two years of high school. He moved to Pennsylvania and competed for Erie McDowell, but didn’t finish the 2024-25 season due to injuries and has been sidelined for a few months now. Before his injury, Mickell was consistently ranked in the top 15 via MatScouts. 

Right now, we don’t have any hints on possible landing spots for Mickell or even when he might return to the mat.

Two weeks ago, we saw MatScouts release the final Big Board rankings for the high school Class of 2025. We've done plenty of studies over the years to figure out which programs recruit the best and here's another one to add to the mix. 

We'll look at MatScouts Big Board rankings for each of the last six years to determine how many of a specific category each school has signed. With national titles and All-American honors so heavily dependent on signing high school superstars - there are six different levels for the top 100. Top 5 recruits, Top 10 recruits, Top 25 recruits, Top 50 recruits, Top 75 recruits, and Top 100. After that we've used the top 150 and top 200 benchmarks. 

For purposes of this study, if a wrestler was ranked #24 in his graduating class, he counts for the top 25 category and all others behind it. 

We have only listed DI programs who have signed top 200 recruits within this period 2020-25. These years were used because prior to 2020 the MatScouts Big Board only went up to the top 100. 200 is the limit as some of the Big Boards in this time have 200, while others go up to 250 or 300.

The Senior US Open wasn’t the only event that went down in Las Vegas over the last week or so. There were a handful of other tournaments across multiple age groups. 

One of the most interesting is the U20 division. It features current collegiate stars or some future stars that might have redshirted as freshman. Mixed in are the cream of the crop from the high school division. Some seniors that are a few months away from starting their collegiate careers and top juniors, as well. 

Mix them all together and you have some highly competitive, deep brackets. As you’ll see below, just getting a spot amongst the top-eight is an excellent feat in and of itself. 

Below are wrestlers who earned All-American honors in the U20 division in freestyle and the college that they attend or have committed to. If they are not currently in college, their high school class has been noted next to their name.

One of the top remaining uncommitted juniors in the country, #12 overall Dom Munaretto (St. Charles East, IL), changed his status to committed this afternoon as he gave a verbal to Ohio State University. In addition to Munaretto’s ranking among the Class of 2026, he finished the 2024-25 campaign ranked fourth in the nation at 120 lbs. 

Munaretto is a two-time U17 world champion - winning first in 2022 at 45 kg and again in 2024 at 51 kg, both in freestyle. In 2024, Munaretto also represented the United States at the U17 World Championships in Greco-Roman; however, he did not earn a medal. 

Domestically, Munaretto has placed at the Walsh Ironman on three occasions. He won the 106 lb bracket as a freshman in 2022 and was seventh and third in the following seasons. Munaretto has also made the Super 32 podium twice - taking sixth in 2022 and finishing as a runner-up in 2023. 

Munaretto will be in action next week at the U20 US Open as he is registered at the 57 kg weight class. 

At the next level, Munaretto projects as a 133 lber. Ohio State has Munaretto’s old high school teammate Ben Davino as a true freshman. Davino had an excellent redshirt season going 19-1 and will push for the starting role in 2025-26. He could move up to 141 in the future. 

In addition to Ohio State; Illinois, Indiana, and Nebraska were finalists for Munaretto. Last fall, he visited those four schools along with Arizona State.

The final senior Big Board for the Class of 2025 was released yesterday by Willie Saylor at MatScouts. The Big Board culminates years of evaluation by Willie and will be the unofficial ranking that these wrestlers will carry with them as they enter college. Earlier today, Willie released an article breaking down which schools signed the most Big Boarders, the most in the top 10 and top 25, and more. Check those out, there’s plenty of good information in that article. 

We’ve decided to break all of the 250 wrestlers on the Big Board down via college they’ve signed with or committed to. The wrestlers are listed according to Big Board ranking and with their projected collegiate weight.

One of the top uncommitted juniors in the nation is no longer uncommitted! The #8 overall wrestler in the Class of 2026, Michael Mocco (Cardinal Gibbons, FL), has committed to wrestle for the University of Iowa. 

This isn’t the first time that a highly sought-after future heavyweight named Mocco will suit up for the Hawkeyes. Michael’s father, Steve, graduated from high school (2001) a few years before widespread recruiting rankings were “a thing” however, he was considered one of the most prized recruits ever. Mocco went on to make a pair of NCAA finals and won a title for Iowa in 2003 before transferring to Oklahoma State. 

The younger Mocco has written his own story which is laden with notable accomplishments along the way. Michael is a three-time Florida state champion. Last summer, Mocco won a gold medal at the U17 World Championships in Amman, Jordan. Mocco crushed the field with four straight tech falls and didn’t surrender a point in the last three bouts. In the gold medal match, Mocco only needed :17 seconds to dispose of Kazakhstan’s Yedige Kassimbek. 

This high school season saw Mocco make the Super 32 finals for a second straight year and earn his first title at the Walsh Ironman. He was fourth in 2023. Also in 2023, Mocco was a double national champion winning both the freestyle and Greco-Roman championships at Fargo’s 16U division. 

Mocco will join the top recruit in the Class of 2026, Bo Bassett (Bishop McCort, PA), in what is shaping up to be an incredible recruiting class for Iowa. He projects at 285 lbs for the Hawkeyes. That weight is up in the air as freshman All-American Ben Kueter is set to undergo hip surgery. Kueter has also played football for Iowa, but will be out for the 2025 season due to that injury. We’ll have to see if he turns his attention to football in the future. Either way, Mocco’s addition will spice up a upperweight room that is set to add the top 190 lber in the nation in Harvey Ludington. 

Should Bassett and Mocco sign, it would be the second consecutive season in which the Hawkeyes brought in a pair of top-ten recruits. 

During the fall, Mocco visited Iowa along with NC State, Ohio State, Oklahoma State, and Penn State.

Earlier this week, we re-ranked the high school Class of 2020 based on their collegiate accomplishments. Now, it’s time to revisit the team rankings. In this version, we’re not necessarily doing 1-10 style rankings, but identifying notable classes based on a couple of different categories. Wrestlers are listed with the schools they initially signed with; however, the numbers next to their names refer to their “re-ranking.” 

We’ll close with a reminder of the team recruiting rankings as they were published in 2020. 

The Elite

Missouri: #1 Keegan O’Toole, #5 Rocky Elam, #32 Josh Edmond, #38 (tie) Colton Hawks

NC State: #8 Anthony Noto, #13 Ed Scott, #14 Isaac Trumble, #16 Ryan Jack

Whatever tickles your fancy in determining the “best” recruiting class from 2020 works for me. As long as it includes these two teams. Missouri’s class is headlined by two four-time All-Americans (O’Toole 5x) and a multiple-time national champion (O’Toole, again). Both started immediately for the Tigers and became cornerstones of the Mizzou lineup. Josh Edmond and Colton Hawks both have advanced to the NCAA Round of 12 and each has another year of eligibility. 

NC State, on the other hand, signed four eventual All-Americans. Four. Four is a ridiculous number. Now, the elephant in the room is that Anthony Noto redshirted and then transferred to Lock Haven where he twice finished in the top four at NCAA’s. A potential difference between NC State and Missouri is that the Tigers have that bona fide superstar in O’Toole. None of the Scott, Trumble, Jack triumvirate has made a national final. Trumble and Jack still have a year of eligibility and it could happen. Like Mizzou, this group helped continue NC State’s dual and ACC tournament dominance during their tenure. 

Freakish recruiting classes like Penn State’s 2014 group have destroyed the curve on “what is a good recruiting class.” Getting multiple four-time AA’s or four All-Americans in one signing class is something that any coach in the country would gladly accept. 

Yes…..but

Oklahoma State: #2 AJ Ferrari, #4 Dustin Plott, #28 Luke Surber

Minnesota: #18 Isaiah Salazar, #20 Aaron Nagao, #34 Andrew Sparks

Back in 2020, Oklahoma State was deemed to have the best class in the nation. In addition to the three mentioned above, you had #21 Trevor Mastrogiovanni, #47 Jakason Burks, and #110 Konner Doucet. Just looking at AJ Ferrari, Dustin Plott, and Luke Surber - that generally makes a strong recruiting class. Plott was who you hoped he’d be - a four-time All-American who ended up being trapped in some loaded weights. Ferrari won a title as a true freshman. On the flip side, Ferrari never appeared in another national tournament for the Cowboys and Mastrogiovanni and Burks combined for two NCAA Tournaments. At the end of the day, you’d probably still rank this as the second or third-best recruiting class….but.

In a similar vein, Minnesota inked a pair of wrestlers who ended up on the podium in Isaiah Salazar and Aaron Nagao, along with a valuable contributor and four-time qualifier in Andrew Sparks. At the same time, Nagao transferred after making the B1G finals and finishing fifth in the country as a redshirt freshman. 

Multiple AA’s

North Carolina: #7 Lachlan McNeil, #24 Gavin Kane

Rutgers: #10 Dylan Shawver, #21 John Poznanski

Signing a pair of All-Americans from the same recruiting class is a pretty solid feat. If you consistently do it, your program will be in good shape. Especially if they are the types that are consistently in the mix, rather than a one-tournament wonder. Both North Carolina and Rutgers had two All-Americans who were staples of their respective programs. 

In addition to the All-Americans, North Carolina also signed two-time national qualifier Sonny Santiago in 2020. Rutgers had a pair of qualifiers in Andrew Clark and Connor O’Neill. 

Don’t Forget About

Appalachian State: #35 Tommy Askey, #38 Ethan Oakley

The Mountaineers were not initially mentioned in the recruiting rankings from 2020. That being said, head coach JohnMark Bentley and staff did what they typically do and found some diamonds in the rough. Tommy Askey was the #176 overall recruit and Ethan Oakley was not on the Big Board at all. Each developed into excellent collegiate wrestlers. Askey was a two-time NCAA Round of 12 finisher and Oakley has qualified for nationals three times. 

Of course, because of the current landscape of collegiate wrestling both ended up transferring to higher profile programs, but don’t let that overshadow the recruiting and development at Appalachian State. 

The Strength of One

Penn State: #3 Beau Bartlett

West Virginia: #6 Peyton Hall

Once all the smoke clears four or five (or six or seven) years after a recruiting class, in most cases, there are only one or two wrestlers that end up having a significant impact on the mat. But, if the impact is “that” great then it can make for a strong class. That’s the case with Penn State and West Virginia in 2020. Those schools obviously had other signees in 2020, and they made various contributions, but none could come close to the accomplishments of their superstar. 

If we had to rank these teams based on the accolades of Beau Bartlett and Peyton Hall, I’d probably put West Virginia over Penn State. Hall’s impact on a West Virginia team trying to get back into the top 20 on a consistent basis, is probably more than Bartlett on a record-setting Penn State squad. Hall’s accomplishments have made him one of the top wrestlers in the history of WVU wrestling.

Earlier this week, our sister site MatScouts released their final high school rankings for the 2024-25 season. Since we’re primarily focused on the college aspect of the sport, it seems appropriate to look at how these rankings may impact the college game a year or two (or four) down the road. How did the recruits from your particular school fare in these rankings? 

Recruits have been sorted by the school they have either signed with or verbally committed to. They are all from the Class of 2025 unless noted otherwise. Some recruits did not appear in the final rankings because of injury or training at the OTC or being noted as post-grads. They have been included with their respective future homes and labeled as such.

Over the weekend, the NHSCA National Championships took place in Virginia Beach, Virginia. This is one of the last major folkstyle events on the national calendar and is broken down into different tournaments for each grade level. Before the proliferation of national tournaments, NHSCA Senior Nationals was one of the top events on the national wrestling landscape. With so many other opportunities and freestyle/Greco season on the horizon, more often than not, the top, top prospects forgo this event. Even so, there’s still plenty of talent and future collegiate stars in the field. 

We’ve broken down the placers at the NHSCA Junior and Senior Nationals by their future collegiate homes. All are seniors unless noted with a “Class of 2026” distinction. 

If I’ve left someone who has committed to a college out, please let me know earl@matscouts.com

With all of the action happening during the collegiate postseason, we haven't been able to post an update for high school state tournament results for girls wrestling recruits. So, now's the time. This actually works out well for girls high school recruiting because it doesn't move as quickly as it does on the boys side. 

Below, wrestlers are sorted by their choice of college. They are listed with their high school and the weight class that they wrestled at the state tournament - along with their results. This is only for girls that qualified for, and wrestled at, their state tournament. There are more recruits we have listed on our commitment page who did not qualify for their respective state tournaments. 

We're trying to stay on top of this, but there are probably some recruits we've missed. If you do not see a recruit that should have been added, please fill out our commitment form or email me at earl@matscouts.com .

Post NCAA recruiting in the Class of 2026 got off to a huge start today as one of the top juniors in the nation flipped his previous commitment. Jayden James (Delbarton, NJ) announced via social media that he has committed to wrestle at Penn State. He was one of the first members of the Class of 2026 to commit and had given a verbal to Virginia Tech. 

James is a three-time New Jersey state placewinner who was third as a freshman, a state runner-up as a sophomore, and a state champion earlier this year. 

Outside of New Jersey, James earned his second 16U freestyle national championship in Fargo this summer. He was also third in the UWW U17 World Team Trials in freestyle. 

During the 2023-24 school year, James claimed a title at the Beast of the East. Prior to his freshman year at Delbarton, James was fourth at the Super 32. 

James’ state title came at 150 lbs and he could project to wrestle around 174 lbs for the Nittany Lions. 

James comes in at #4 overall in the Class of 2026 and he’s currently ranked second in the nation at 150 lbs in MatScouts most recent update. 

In addition to his previous commitment to Virginia Tech, James also visited Michigan last fall. 

James joins Sam Herring in the Nittany Lions Class of 2026. 

For all of Penn State Class of 2025 and 2026 information, check out InterMat’s college commitment page. 

Last weekend, high school state tournament season wrapped up last week. It went out with a bang as states like New Jersey, Ohio, and Pennsylvania held their much-anticipated season-ending tournaments - along with a few others. As these tournaments conclude, it begs the question, "how did my favorite team's recruits fare?" In some smaller states, it's almost a given that your college-bound studs are collecting another state title, while in the power states, with the deepest talent pools, such achievements are not guaranteed.

Either way, we've combed through results from all of the state tournaments that have taken place thus far to find out how everyone's recruits have finished.

If you do not see a recruit that should be added, please fill out our commitment form or email me at earl@matscouts.com .

This weekend, high school state tournament season started to wrap-up. Power states like California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, and Oklahoma held their much-anticipated season-ending tournaments - along with plenty of others. As these tournaments conclude, it begs the question, "how did my favorite team's recruits fare?" In some smaller states, it's almost a given that your college-bound studs are collecting another state title, while in the power states, with the deepest talent pools, such achievements are not guaranteed.

Either way, we've combed through results from all of the state tournaments that have taken place thus far to find out how everyone's recruits have finished.

We will update this article each week as more results become official.

If you do not see a recruit that should be added, please fill out our commitment form or email me at earl@matscouts.com .

This weekend, we had a major girls high school state tournament along with many others. Texas, with has long been a power in girls high school wrestling, held their season-ending championship event. Plenty of future collegiate stars were on the mat. Other state tournaments that featured plenty of college recruits were Colorado, Georgia, and Montana.

In year's past, we've tracked how the boys collegiate recruits fared at their respective state tournaments and will do it again this season. In conjunction, it would be nice to do the same thing for the girls who will be wrestling at the next level. Girls high school recruiting doesn't get the type of fanfare that it does on the boys side, so we'd like to change that. 

Below, wrestlers are sorted by their choice of college. They are listed with their high school and the weight class that they wrestled at the state tournament - along with their results. This is only for girls that qualified for, and wrestled at, their state tournament. There are more recruits we have listed on our commitment page who did not qualify for their respective state tournaments. 

We will update this article each week as more results become official.

We're trying to stay on top of this, but there are probably some recruits we've missed. If you do not see a recruit that should have been added, please fill out our commitment form or email me at earl@matscouts.com .

This weekend, high school state tournament season really went into full swing. States like Georgia, Colorado, and Texas held their much-anticipated season-ending tournaments - along with plenty of others. As these tournaments conclude, it begs the question, "how did my favorite team's recruits fare?" In some smaller states, it's almost a given that your college-bound studs are collecting another state title, while in the power states, with the deepest talent pools, such achievements are not guaranteed.

Either way, we've combed through results from all of the state tournaments that have taken place thus far to find out how everyone's recruits have finished.

We will update this article each week as more results become official.

Earlier this week, the top recruit in the Class of 2026, Bo Bassett, announced that he will continue his career at the University of Iowa. His commitment made it the second time in the last ten years that Iowa has been able to nab the top wrestler in their respective class. Of course, Spencer Lee was that guy in 2017. 

Now that the top recruit from 2026 is off the board, it seemed like a good time to check on how the top recruits over the last 20 years have fared at the collegiate level (and beyond). 

More often than not, they have done very well. With more national tournaments available to high schoolers, it provides more opportunities for recruiting junkies like Willie Saylor to watch and make accurate evaluations. Back in the day, before recruiting rankings were as prevalent, you would have to rely on high school state tournament performance and Fargo results as your best data points. 

Before we get sidetracked, these are the #1 overall recruits from the last 20 years - grouped by the schools they signed with and initially attended. We list David Taylor for Penn State because he signed with Iowa State, but never actually enrolled. Greg Kerklivet is with Ohio State because he went there for about a semester. 

Next to each wrestler is a brief summation of their collegiate credentials, along with any Senior world/Olympic accolades - if applicable. Of course, Bassett and 2025’s PJ Duke have nothing by their names as they have not yet enrolled at their college of choice.

Virginia Tech

Cody Gardner (VA) - Class of 2007 - never started for an extended period of time or competed in the postseason

Two days ago, the #1 overall recruit in the Class of 2026 Bo Bassett made his collegiate decision. Now, it’s Bishop McCort teammate Jax Forrest’s time. Forrest is currently ranked #2 overall in the junior class and would likely be #1 in most classes. Forrest joined FloWrestling’s FRL to announce his commitment to wrestle at Oklahoma State. 

Forrest was a 2024 Pennsylvania AA state champion at 127 lbs. There’s a good chance Forrest would be a two-time champion had his school been eligible to compete in the 2023 postseason. He’s currently ranked #1 in the nation at 132 lbs. 

On a national level, Forrest has captured a pair of titles at the Super 32 and was third on two occasions. Earlier this season, Forrest won the Walsh Ironman for the first - after finishing as a runner-up the previous two seasons. He also has a pair of Junior National freestyle titles from Fargo, the most recent coming last summer at 132 lbs. 

Before each of the last three high seasons, Forrest has been selected to compete in FloWrestling’s “Who’s #1” dual meet. Each time he’s been victorious with his most recent win coming over Illinois’ Seth Mendoza, 7-3. 

Forrest had experience outside of the United States, as well. He was a U17 World silver medalist in 2022 at 55 kg. In 2023, Forrest wrestled in the best-of-three series for another spot on the U17 team. Forrest also fell to the eventual U20 world champion, Luke Lilledahl, in the 2024 U20 World Team Trials. At the 2024 Olympic Team Trials, Forrest advanced to the third-place match, despite being one of the youngest in the field. 

Forrest’s commitment now gives Oklahoma State two of the top three juniors in the country and four of the top 22. On Sunday, we wrote about #3 Dreshaun Ross (Fort Dodge, IA) committing to the Cowboys. Now, David Taylor’s program has two blue-chippers within the same week. The pair join #14 Rocklin Zinkin and #22 Kellen Wolbert in a Cowboys Class of 2026 that looks extremely imposing. The Class of 2025 is excellent too, with three top-ten recruits and 10 Big Boarder’s total. 

With the recent run on elite prospects from the Class of 2026, there are only three wrestlers currently in the top-ten that are uncommitted #6 Jordyn Raney, #7 Jaydn Raney, and #8 Michael Mocco.

The most high-profile and public recruiting battle in the history of our sport came to an end this evening as the top prospect in the high school Class of 2026, Bo Bassett, announced his collegiate intentions. Bassett gave a verbal commitment to the University of Iowa live on FloWrestling after his Bishop McCort team earned a win in the PIAA AA Dual Tournament. 

About eight months ago, Bassett started with a graphic that included pictures of over 80 teams to signify all of the programs he was considering in the recruiting process. For the majority of that time, Bassett updated the graphic on a weekly basis eliminating seven, then three, then one school at a time, until he was down to seven. 

The final seven were Iowa, Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma State, Penn State, Rutgers and Virginia Tech. Yesterday, Bassett went on FloWrestling’s FRL to talk about the process and mentioned that his final four were Iowa, Oklahoma State, Penn State, and Virginia Tech. 

Earlier in the process, Bassett said he intended on committing later in the year; however, he had a change of heart and announced he was ready to announce his decision over the weekend. 

Bassett is expected to be a program-changing recruit who not only competes for a national title from day one, but also brings in other top recruits. One of Bassett’s current high school teammates, Owen McMullen, has already committed to the Hawkeyes. Bassett’s commitment means that Iowa will be in the driver's seat for both of his younger brothers. Melvin Miller is considered the top overall prospect in the Class of 2027 and Keegan Bassett is an excellent high school freshman. 

One of the benefits of Bassett announcing his commitment to Iowa earlier than he anticipated is the chance for other top recruits in the Class of 2026 to potentially follow suit. Other top-ten uncommitted juniors that have visited Iowa include the Raney twins, #6 Jordyn and #7 Jayden, along with #8 Michael Mocco. 

On the mat, Bassett won a Pennsylvania AA state championship at 139 lbs in 2024. It was his first opportunity to compete for a state title because of a PIAA-imposed two-year postseason ban for Bishop McCort. 

On the national scene, Bassett has won the Super 32, the Walsh Ironman, and the Powerade on three occasions. Next year, he could join David Taylor and Zahid Valencia as the only four-time Ironman champion. He has also been selected to appear in FloWrestling’s “Who’s #1” three times and has won on two of those occasions. 

Bassett has also had success outside of the United States. He was a representative on both the U17 freestyle and Greco-Roman world teams in 2021 and won gold in freestyle. Last summer, Bassett was a member of the U20 freestyle world team and came home from Pontevedra, Spain with a bronze medal at 65 kg. 

Bassett’s prowess on the mat along with his social media personality have led to reported NIL offers that dwarf any figures currently brought in by collegiate wrestling. We’re looking to confirm the exact amount of Bassett’s offer; however, rumors of it are in the multi-million dollar range. 

Bassett is the first #1 overall recruit to choose the Hawkeyes since fellow Pennsylvania native Spencer Lee did so in 2017. Coincidentally, Bassett’s first national interview was with FloWrestling in 2016 during Lee’s commitment ceremony to Iowa.

First ever Flo Wrestling Interview! This was the night Spencer Lee committed. Since then I been looking forward to someday doing a college announcement #MachineGunMindset #GloryToGod @FloWrestling @the_rudis @CPyles8 @_wrestlersgrind @MrPatMineo pic.twitter.com/x3IT41MPEw

Last night, we learned that the top heavyweight prospect in the Class of 2026 and the #3 overall junior, Dreshaun Ross, has given the Oklahoma State Cowboys a verbal commitment. His pledge gives David Taylor’s team verbals from three of the top 22 juniors in the country - joining #14 Rocklin Zinklin and #22 Kellen Wolbert. 

Ross’s commitment also felt like the appropriate time to dig into Oklahoma State’s recent history with elite, blue-chip recruits. The story of the overlooked walk-on who turns into an excellent college wrestler is great, but more times than not, you need the thoroughbreds to win the NCAA wrestling race. The 2024 NCAA finals are evidence of this statement. 

Of the ten national champions from last year, Virginia Tech’s Caleb Henson had the “lowest” recruiting ranking of the bunch. He was deemed the #16 overall recruit in the Class of 2022. Eight of the ten champions were ranked in the top ten of their respective classes. Expanding it out to the NCAA finalists from 2024, five of the runners-up were ranked in the top ten and another was ranked #11. The outliers were #49 Lucas Davison and #59 Mitchell Mesenbrink (after the cut-off in the recruiting rankings - Mesenbrink performed in a way worthy of a much higher ranking). 

For first-year head coach Taylor to make a dent in Penn State’s supremacy and potentially threaten to usurp his alma mater, he’ll need the big point-scoring horses…and lots of them. A class like the one he signed in 2025 and is assembling in 2026 are huge steps in the right direction. With Oklahoma State a potential suitor for #1 Bo Bassett and #2 Jax Forrest, the 2026 class could be a special one. 

Before focusing on the future, let’s look at how we got here. Oklahoma State’s recent success with these blue-chip recruits. Of course, blue-chip is a difficult label to lock down. Some recruiting classes are deeper than others so it’s not a certain number. But for the purposes of this article, we’ll call blue-chip someone ranked in the top 15 overall in their senior class. Over the last three years, 24 of the 30 individual national championships have been won by a wrestler ranked 15th or better.  

Below are wrestlers from the last ten recruiting classes who initially signed with Oklahoma State and were ranked in the top 15 overall. 
 

Class of 2025

#2 Ladarion Lockett (Stillwater, Oklahoma)

#5 Landon Robideau (St. Michael-Albertville, Minnesota)

#7 Sergio Vega (Sunnyside, Arizona)

Class of 2024

#2 Cody Merrill (Gilroy, California)

Class of 2023

#2 Christian Carroll (Elkhart, Indiana)

#5 Brayden Thompson (Lockport, Illinois)

#8 Cael Hughes (Stillwater, Oklahoma)
 

Class of 2022

#10 Jordan Williams (Stillwater, Oklahoma)
 

Class of 2021

#15 Victor Voinovich (Brecksville, Ohio)
 

Class of 2020

#1 AJ Ferrari (Allen, Texas)

#2 Dustin Plott (Tuttle, Oklahoma)
 

Class of 2019

None
 

Class of 2018

#6 Travis Wittlake (Marshfield Oregon)
 

Class of 2017

#2 Daton Fix (Sand Springs, Oklahoma)

#15 Kaden Gfeller (Heritage Hall, Oklahoma)
 

Class of 2016

None

The number of blue-chippers isn’t necessarily an issue for Oklahoma State. Only Penn State has signed more (22) and Ohio State is tied with them (14). In addition to more swings at the pinata, Penn State also has an incredible “hit rate” for their top prospects. Of those 22, Alex Facundo, Gavin Teasdale, Brady Berge, and Mason Manville are the only ones who haven’t achieved All-American status. Of course, Josh Barr and others younger than him have not, but seemed poised to. Facundo still has a few cracks at it. 

Basically, Sanderson and Penn State have signed big guns, but also have done an excellent job at signing the right ones and ones that fit in with their system. 

It appears as if, under Taylor’s direction, Oklahoma State will have more and more of these highly-ranked signees. They’ll be needed to close the gap with the team from State College. 

Looking at the Oklahoma State list, Williams, Voinovich, and Carroll have already transferred out and have multiple years of eligibility remaining. Their blue-chip numbers are also bolstered by three Class of 2025 recruits who have yet to graduate from high school - so they’ll need more in the years to come. 

Overall, Oklahoma State has had a mixed bag with blue-chip recruits within the last decade. Daton Fix was a home run making multiple NCAA finals and winning a Senior world medal while still in college. He’ll go down in that club that no one wants to be a part of - one of the best non-NCAA champions ever. 

Dustin Plott has also been as good as advertised. He’s been a multi-time All-American and a high finisher in a weight class loaded with talent. 

AJ Ferrari. The talent was there - evidenced by his national championship as a true freshman at 197 lbs. He was only able to wrestle at one NCAA tournament for the Cowboys as a car crash sidelined him the following year and disciplinary problems led to his dismissal later on in 2022. I don’t know if you’d classify that as a win or not on the recruiting trail. They did get a national title and a team trophy with him on the mat. 

We’ve mentioned Penn State a handful of times, but they are the standard and surely what Taylor is aiming to surpass. For that to happen, Oklahoma State will need to be more consistent with the number of top, top recruits they bring in and they also need to cut down on attrition. Some of that is natural with a coaching change and the loss of Williams and Carroll could be attributed to that factor. 

We’ll see with more recruiting classes if Taylor and his staff - led by recruiting coordinator Bryan Pearsall, are able to identify those studs that not only have the ability to win immediately, but also fit into Taylor’s vision of the program. That still might take some time to notice. The starters on the current squad are largely a veteran crew. Taylor was able to have some input on the Class of 2024 recruiting and even inherited some commits from the Class of 2025. The Class of 2026 will be the first that has only the fingerprints of him and his staff.

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.

The top prospect in the high school Class of 2026, Bo Bassett, has vowed to keep fans abreast of his recruiting with regular updates. 

Bassett has posted an updated graphic which has eliminated two more schools from consideration. 

Earlier this year, Bassett posted a graphic that contained the logos of approximately 80 schools, most of the DI variety, but some DII’s as well, to signify that he’s totally open in the recruiting process. After more than three months of removing schools from the list, he’s down to 7.

Two schools were removed from this week's graphic: Iowa State and Pitt-Johnstown

The following schools remain on Bassett’s graphic and therefore in contention for his services:

Iowa, Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma State, Penn State, Rutgers, Virginia Tech

One school was removed from the 12/12 graphic: Cornell

One school was removed from the 12/5: Arizona State

One school was removed from the 11/28 graphic: Northern Iowa

One school was removed from the 11/20 graphic: Missouri

One school was removed from the 11/13 graphic: Nebraska

One school was removed from the 11/6 graphic: Princeton

One school was removed from the 10/9 graphic: Air Force

One school was removed from the 10/2 graphic: Lehigh

One school was removed from the 9/25 graphic: Pittsburgh

One school was removed from the 9/18 graphic: Stanford

One school was removed from the 9/11 graphic: NC State

These three schools were removed from the 9/4 graphic: American, North Carolina, Wisconsin

These three schools were removed from the 8/28 graphic: Clarion, Little Rock, Minnesota

The following schools were removed from the 8/21 graphic: Penn, Oklahoma, Oregon State

The following schools were removed from the 8/14 graphic: Bucknell, Virginia, Wyoming

The following schools were removed from the 8/7 graphic: Brown, Northern Colorado, Purdue

The following schools were removed from the 7/31 graphic: California Baptist, Michigan State, Navy

The following schools were removed from the 7/24 graphic: Army West Point, Campbell, Edinboro, Harvard, Illinois, North Dakota State, South Dakota State

The following schools were removed from the 7/17 graphic: Cal Poly, Columbia, Indiana, Maryland, Millersville, The Citadel, and West Virginia

The following schools were removed from the 7/10 graphic: CSU Bakersfield, George Mason, Hofstra, Northwestern, Rider, UW Parkside, West Liberty

The following schools were removed from the 7/3 graphic: Appalachian State, Central Michigan, Cleveland State, Drexel, Kent State, Ohio, and St. Cloud State

The following schools were removed from the 6/26 graphic: Binghamton, Bloomsburg, Duke, Gardner-Webb, Northern Illinois, Sacred Heart, SIU Edwardsville

Bassett has already taken on-campus visits to Iowa, Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma State, Penn State, and Virginia Tech.

As of now, Bassett's only remaining campus visit is to Rutgers on January 24th-26th. 

Virginia Tech got the ball rolling with the first big commitment from the Class of 2026 as they received a verbal from #4 (then #11) Jayden James (Delbarton, NJ) in mid-September. Tony Robie’s team has added to the Class of 2026 with a verbal this morning from #35 Revin Dickman (Brownsburg, IN). Dickman is currently ranked fourth in the nation at 120 lbs. 

The Indiana native has won state championships in each of his two attempts at his single-class state tournament - with his 2024 title coming at 113 lbs. 

Outside of Indiana, Dickman has placed at the Walsh Ironman on three occasions. This season marked his best placement as he was a runner-up in the 120 lb weight class. He was fifth and eighth in his two previous appearances. 

Dickman has also had success with the international styles placing five times in Fargo. Last summer marked his best showing as he was fourth in Junior freestyle. Dickman also has taken eighth twice in Greco-Roman at the UWW U17 Trials. 

At the next level, Dickman projects at 125 or 133 lbs. As of now, the Hokies do not have a long-term fixture at 125. Class of 2025 signee Aaron Seidel is an elite prospect, but has been competing at 132 lbs this year - it’s uncertain if he’ll try to make 125 lbs in college. 133 lbs could have Seidel, along with true freshman Dillon Campbell, who has seen some dual action this season. 

The Hokies staff inked one of the most impressive classes in the country in 2025 and are off to a great start with two top-35 recruits from 2026. For all of Virginia Tech’s 2025 and 2026 recruits: Click Here

Just two days ago, we wrote an article about the top remaining prospects in the high school Class of 2026 and how they were quickly flying off the board. Well, another great prospect is off the board. 

Tonight, the number five overall prospect in the Class of 2026, Aaron Stewart (Warren Township, IL) is staying in his home state and wrestling for the University of Illinois. Stewart is currently ranked sixth in the nation at 175 lbs. 

Stewart is also a star on the gridiron and has committed to play both sports for the Fighting Illini. In 2024, he was named a first-team All-State running back in Illinois. Over the past two years, Stewart has amassed over 4,000 rushing yards and punched in 55 touchdowns. 

On the mat, Stewart was an Illinois 3A state champion at 157 lbs after finishing third at 152 lbs as a freshman. 

This year, during the high school regular season Stewart recently captured his second career title at the Cheesehead Invitational in Kaukauna, Wisconsin. He started the season with a sixth-place finish at the Walsh Ironman. 

Outside of Illinois, Stewart is a two-time double 16U champion in Fargo. During his sophomore season, he was an Ironman finalist. 

Stewart chose Illinois after taking visits to Iowa State, Maryland, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Princeton. 

He’ll join #33 Wyatt Medlin in Illinois’ Class of 2026. Should he sign with Illinois, Stewart would be the first top-five recruit to ink with the Illini since Isaiah Martinez did so in 2013. 

At this point, it’s unclear how navigating both sports will work out for Stewart and the wrestling team - along with what weight he’ll project at.

Now that we’ve moved into 2025, we’re about a month away from most wrestlers from the Class of 2025 wrapping up their high school careers. With the trends in high school recruiting, all of the blue-chip prospects from the Class of 2025 have already made their college intentions known. 

That means more of the recruiting attention turns to the current high school juniors. Plenty of attention has already been paid to them, as they are getting snatched up quickly, as well. Three of the top-ten recruits from the Class of 2026 have already committed and 11 of the top-20 have been spoken for. 

So, who’s left out there? And where could they end up? 

We have information about the top-ten uncommitted juniors and where they’ve drawn attention from, thus far in the recruiting process. 

#1 Bo Bassett (Bishop McCort, Pennsylvania)

The recruiting process for most wrestlers is semi-secretive. For the top recruit in the Class of 2026, Bo Bassett, it has been as transparent as anyone ever. Whether it’s your cup of tea or not, Bassett had a list of around 80 schools he was considering and has whittled it down to nine. 

Bassett has the ability to step in and immediately contend for high All-American honors. In addition to anything he provides on the mat, Bassett is someone who is expected to have other great wrestlers flock to him - wherever he lands. Whenever we get a commitment from Bassett, it’ll be interesting to see if others from the Class of 2026 who have committed elsewhere reconsider or if others make up their mind and follow. 

Through two and a half years of high school competition, Bassett has already won three titles at the Super 32, the Ironman, and the Powerade. His trademarks are his relentless styles and a variety of offensive attacks from his feet. 

Bassett has taken campus visits to: Iowa, Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma State, Penn State, and Virginia Tech. 

He has a visit scheduled for later this month at Rutgers. Iowa State and Pitt-Johnstown are also on his shortlist. 
 

#2 Jax Forrest (Bishop McCort, Pennsylvania)

In most years, Jax Forrest would be the number one overall wrestler in the nation. Even so, some may prefer Forrest and covet him more than Bassett. Forrest has already shown he can compete with (and beat) top Senior level freestyle competitors. In folkstyle, he can be extremely funky and difficult to corral for a takedown. 

Despite being teammates with Bassett, all indications are that the two aren’t a package deal. That isn’t to say that both couldn’t end up at the same school; it's just that it’s not a given. 

That could have been learned by looking at the school list released by Forrest - as it does contain some differences from Bassett’s list. 

Forrest’s top ten includes: Iowa, Iowa State, Lehigh, Michigan, Nebraska, North Carolina, NC State, Ohio State, Oklahoma State, and Penn State. 

Forrest has already taken campus visits to: Iowa, Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma State, and Penn State.
 

#3 Dreshaun Ross (Fort Dodge, Iowa)

At one point, Iowa big man Dreshaun Ross was considered the top wrestler in the Class of 2026. Positional scarcity for a heavyweight prospect was one of the considerations and also….he’s just really good. Bassett and Forrest producing incredible results is one reason why they have passed him and the other is because of injury concerns. Ross has missed significant time due to an injury sustained in the offseason. He secured a spot on the 2024 U17 World team in freestyle, but wasn’t able to participate because of the injury. It also kept him off of the football field this fall. 

Ross is a two-sport star and has been recruited by plenty of DI schools for football. At this time, it’s unclear whether he’ll follow Iowa heavyweight Ben Kueter’s footsteps and try to do both - or choose one. I suspect these questions are also why Bassett and Forrest pushed past Ross in Willie Saylor’s Class of 2026 rankings. 

Ross has taken wrestling visits to: Iowa, Iowa State, Northern Illinois, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State. 

After taking his fall visits, Ross narrowed his recruiting list down to Iowa, Iowa State, Oklahoma State, and Penn State - even though he hasn’t taken an official visit to State College. 
 

#5 Aaron Stewart (Warren Township, Illinois)

Speaking of two-sport stars, Illinois’ Aaron Stewart was named first-team All-State at running back in Illinois after nearly rushing for 2,500 years. Over his last two years, Stewart has run for more than 4,000 yards and punched in 55 touchdowns. A couple weeks before his junior football campaign kicked off, Stewart was a double Fargo champion at the 16U age group - a feat he accomplished in 2023, as well. 

On the mat, Stewart has the tantalizing athleticism that you’d expect from a five-star football prospect who has been labeled the top running back in Illinois. College coaches have to be salivating over what could be done if Stewart focuses solely on wrestling. Herein lies the problem. On the Instagram posts for multiple visits, Stewart has used a #dualsport hashtag. Competing at heavyweight after playing football isn’t ideal, but doing so at a lower weight is rarely attempted at the DI level. Stewart made and wrestled 175 lbs at the 2024 Walsh Ironman, so one would envision him at 174/184 in a normal scenario. It would be unclear the type of weight he may have to put on (or maybe none) to play DI running back. 

He will certainly be a fun and interesting prospect to follow. 

Stewart has taken on campus wrestling visits to: Illinois, Iowa State, Maryland, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Princeton. 
 

#6 Jordyn Raney (Union County, Kentucky)/#7 Jayden Raney (Union County, Kentucky)

If Bassett’s recruitment is a harbinger of things to come, the Raney twins appear to be a throwback to your old-school approach to recruiting. To my knowledge, they do not have a big social media following and don’t make an effort to promote themselves in that same manner. 

Even without promoting themselves off the mat, the Raney twins have garnered plenty of interest for their accomplishments on the mat. They each made a U17 World Team in 2024, with Jayden making the Greco team and Jordyn repeating the feat in both styles. Jayden ended up with a gold medal, Jordyn earned a bronze in Greco and was fifth in freestyle. Jordyn won the Greco world title in 2023. 

While both brothers have excelled in Greco and have the upperbody repertoire needed to succeed in that discipline, they are both well-rounded. Jordyn has placed twice at the Ironman and didn’t enter it this season. Jayden has now placed three times and was a finalist in December. 

So could we think of a place where two twin lightweights might land? Yes, Iowa seems to be very interested in the pair which makes a lot of sense. The twins have been out to Iowa on a visit. 

They have also been linked to Illinois. Their Kentucky home is only about three and a half hours away from Champaign. Illinois Director of Operations Bryan Medlin is regarded as one of the best Greco-Roman coaches in the nation and has done well working with the Braunagel twins in that aspect. The Raney’s have taken multiple visits to Illinois. 

Also in the mix is Nebraska - both have gone out to Lincoln for a visit. 
 

#8 Michael Mocco (Cardinal Gibbons, Florida)

The oldest son of the two-time NCAA champion and Hodge Trophy winner, Steve Mocco, Michael Mocco is developing into an excellent heavyweight prospect of his own. The elder Mocco achieved what he did despite not having the ideal height for a star DI heavyweight. Michael is already a bit taller than his father and will likely grow some more before his high school graduation - which is an excellent sign. 

Michael started his high school career wrestling in Fargo before his freshman year at 195 lbs and then moved up to 220. Therefore, he hasn’t always wrestled a “heavyweight style” and watching him reflects that. Mocco was another member of the 2024 U17 World team in this recruiting group. He took the gold medal at 110 kg. 

Mocco has taken campus visits to: Iowa, NC State, Ohio State, Oklahoma State, and Penn State. 
 

#12 Dom Munaretto (St. Charles East, Illinois)

College wrestling is in the middle of a dearth of elite, career 125 lb prospects. Over the past five recruiting classes (2020-24), there have only been five 125 lbers ranked at Munaretto’s current level (#12) or higher. Richie Figueroa, Drake Ayala, Dean Peterson, Marc-Anthony McGowan, and Luke Lilledahl (and Ayala is already up to 133). Great lightweights don’t come along very often these days and they rarely stay for all four years. That may not happen for Munaretto either. 

Munaretto did take third at the 2024 Ironman at 120 lbs and made the 2024 U17 World Team in both styles at 51 kg (112 lbs). Not only did Munaretto make the world team, but he came home from Jordan with his second gold medal. In winning two U17 world titles, Munaretto joined an exclusive club that includes Kurt McHenry, Yianni Diakomihalis, and Gable Steveson. 

Munaretto has taken campus visits to: Arizona State, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio State.
 

#18 Joe Uhorchuk (Signal Mountain, Tennessee)

Joe Uhorchuck is one of the members of this class that you may not have heard much about; however, all he did was place high at the biggest tournaments. Most recently was the Super 32. It was his second time on the podium in Greensboro and his third-place finish was an improvement upon his fourth-place showing in 2023. In both years of high school competition, Uhorchuk wrapped up the folkstyle season with a championship at the NHSCA grade-level tournament. He has also finished top-three at the Beast, Fargo U16 freestyle, and the Powerade. 

Uhorchuk is the latest in a tough wrestling family from Tennessee. He has a pair of brothers who are currently at Army West Point and another who has committed to wrestle for the home school, Chattanooga. 

Both schools are options for Uhorchuck and he’s visited both. 

Other visits include: Brown, Princeton, and Stanford. With a school list like that, Uhorchuck is certainly thinking about winning on and off the mat. 
 

#21 Adam Waters (Faith Christian Academy, Pennsylvania)

We have yet another excellent prospect from Pennsylvania power Faith Christian. They already have four wrestlers from the Class of 2026 who have committed to wrestle at DI institutes. Adam Waters is the highest-ranked of the bunch. Waters has done a lot of winning thus far in his high school career. Just within the last calendar year, Waters has won the Ironman, the Beast, Fargo Junior Greco and was third in Junior freestyle. He has been able to stand out in a high weight class and have success even as a freshman. Waters has won Pennsylvania AA state titles at 172 lbs during his first two years of high school. 

Waters has recently competed at 190 lbs, so there’s a good chance that he could grow into a college 197 lber. Aside from 125 lbs, 197 might be the most difficult weight to recruit. That makes him extra valuable to the team that lands him. 

Waters’ on-campus visits thus far include: Arizona State, Missouri, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio State, Oklahoma State, Rutgers, and Virginia Tech. 

He obviously has no shortage of potential suitors!

After posting a 25-17 win over rival West Virginia in wrestling’s version of the “Backyard Brawl” on Sunday afternoon, the University of Pittsburgh also got some good news from the recruiting trail. The #19 overall recruit in the Class of 2025, Vince Bouzakis (Wyoming Seminary, PA), has flipped his verbal commitment from Ohio State to the Panthers. 

Bouzakis was most recently ranked #3 in the country at 157 lbs. He was dropped from the ranking in late December after missing multiple key events due to an injury. 

During his junior year of high school, Bouzakis won the Walsh Ironman and the Powerade Tournament, before capturing a National Prep championship at 157 lbs. Despite missing time this season, his career is overflowing with national-level accolades. 

Bouzakis has made the Fargo freestyle finals twice in his career - making the 16U finals in 2022 and winning the Junior title in 2023. Also in 2023, Bouzakis placed top-three in both styles at the U17 UWW Trials in Las Vegas. He is also a two-time Super 32 placer - taking second in 2022 and third the following year. 

Initially, Bouzakis committed to Ohio State but rumors of him decommitting from the Buckeyes surfaced after he did not ink with them during November’s signing day. His older brother, Nic, is Ohio State’s starting 133 lber and ranked ninth in the nation. 

Should Bouzakis sign with Pittsburgh, he would become only the third top-30 recruit to sign with them during the last decade. #18 Anthony Santaniello (2023) and #30 Nino Bonaccorsi (2017) are the others. 

At the next level, Bouzakis projects in the 157/165 lb range. The Panthers have plenty of young talent in that range - including #22 Dylan Evans (157); however, no one of Bouzakis’ pedigree. 

Bouzakis will join a Pitt Class of 2025 that now includes two top-100 recruits and four Big Boarders.

Bouzakis’ commitment to Pittsburgh makes him the 19th Big Boarder from the Class of 2025 to flip a commitment. InterMat recently wrote about this phenomenon with the current crop of high school seniors.

Recruiting is a rapidly changing and ever-evolving process, much different in 2025 than even five or ten years ago. This is bigger than wrestling—it goes for any sport at the collegiate level. A sign of these changing times is the propensity for “flipping.” Flipping is when a recruit flips his or her commitment from one school to another. 

This is different than a transfer as the athlete flipped before enrolling and taking classes at the original institution. 

Flipping can happen for a variety of reasons. Maybe more NIL money is promised or available at another school. Transfers and flips have been very common during coaching changes. Wrestlers would prefer the coach(es) they committed to and coaches might prefer their own recruits. Sometimes a wrestler commits to a smaller school and has a late breakout that puts them on the radar of a bigger school. In this instance, maybe a wrestler already committed to that bigger school gets “recruited over.” These things can have a trickle effect. 

One example is California heavyweight Nick Sahakian who was committed to Arizona State. He changed his commitment and has signed with Michigan. Michigan already had a heavyweight commitment from the Class of 2025 in Jude Correa. Correa recently committed to Cornell. 

Frankly, in some instances, there isn’t a great explanation for a flip. Despite their great wrestling ability, we’re talking about 16-18 year olds. They might just have a change of heart. With recent changes to recruiting rules, coaches are allowed to contact recruits in the July before their junior year. With the realization of the collegiate wrestling dreams so close, maybe they make a rash decision before considering all of their potential opportunities. 

It’s a different discussion for a different day, but there are arguments for and against coaches or other parties actively recruiting wrestlers who have committed to other schools. Sometimes this is a factor. 

Whatever the case, flipping has been extremely prevalent with this current senior class. 18 of the top-200 wrestlers on MatScout’s Big Board have flipped their commitment at least once during the recruiting process. There are whispers about a few other prominent recruits that might flip, too. Once the 2024-25 collegiate season ends and the coaching carousel picks up steam, I’d expect that number to grow even larger. As the state and postseason tournaments occur, I’d expect some non-blue-chip prospects to have state tournament or national-level performances that lead higher-profile suitors to call. 

While this is a sign of the times and flipping is more prevalent than ever, it’s not a totally new phenomenon. There are plenty of examples of prominent wrestlers who have flipped their commitments before actually attending classes at a school. 

David Taylor (Class of 2009) signed with Iowa State to wrestle for Cael Sanderson and was allowed out of that commitment (more of a stringent process back then) when Sanderson moved to Penn State. 

2024 NCAA Champion Greg Kerkvliet (Class of 2019) committed to Minnesota and Oklahoma State before signing with Penn State. 

Cornell head coach Mike Grey (Class of 2006) committed to Lehigh before flipping towards Cornell. This was a huge point of contention between two former EIWA rivals. 

Alex Marinelli (Class of 2016) was on track to stay in-state and wrestle for Ohio State before flipping to Iowa. 

You might have seen in FloWrestling’s recent “Chance” documentary that mega prospect Chance Marsteller (Class of 2015) gave Penn State a commitment before switching to Oklahoma State. 

Just a few years ago, Daniel Cardenas (Class of 2022) had committed to Cornell, but switched to Stanford after head coach Rob Koll made the same move. 

All of the above were considered top-five overall recruits in their respective class.

Below we have the 18 wrestlers from the Class of 2025 who have flipped their commitment during this recruiting cycle. Included is their overall ranking from MatScouts in the Class of 2025, along with their original and current commitments.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve posted recruiting recaps from notable high school tournaments. The Ironman, the Beast of the East, and the Powerade. We have four more to complete the quartet. The final regular season national tournament we’ll follow from a recruit standpoint is the Doc Buchanan. 

The Doc B is hosted by Clovis High School in California and awards a cowboy hat to its champions. Because of travel restrictions, California high schools are not able to travel to the Ironman and Beast anymore, so this (and the Reno TOC) are the two big regular season events where we can see California wrestlers against other top wrestlers from around the country. 

And an emphasis on “around the country.” The Doc B has talent from all corners of the country. Wrestlers from Alaska, Hawaii, Florida and Virginia all did battle with the top studs from California and the West Coast. 

Below are wrestlers who have already committed to wrestle in college and participated in the 2024 Beast of the East. They are listed by school and their results from the Beast are noted in parentheses. If they have two numbers - that is their record at the tournament; otherwise, a placement is noted.

The 2025 recruiting class for Cornell is arguably one of the best in the nation. The Class of 2026 is now rounding into shape as one of the clubhouse leaders in those recruiting rankings, as well. Mike Grey’s team added to an already-impressive recruiting haul with a verbal commitment from Oklahoma state champion Joseph Jeter (Edmond North, Oklahoma) today). 

Jeter is a two-time Oklahoma state medalist. He is currently ranked seventh in the nation at 157 lbs and #30 overall in the Class of 2026. As a freshman, Jeter placed third in the state at 138 lbs. Last year, he captured the 6A state crown at 150 lbs. 

Outside of Oklahoma, Jeter has plenty of national credentials. In 2024, he made the U17 World Team in Greco-Roman and came up a match shy of earning a medal in Amann, Jordan. 

The same weekend that Jeter earned a spot on the U17 Greco team, he also placed fourth in freestyle. In 2023, Jeter earned a spot on the Fargo 16U podium in both styles, highlighted by a third-place finish in freestyle. 

Just a few weeks ago, Jeter made the Walsh Ironman finals at 150 lbs. 

With Jeter’s commitment, Cornell now has verbals from four of the top-60 juniors in the country and five Big Boarder’s overall. 

Before committing to Cornell, Jeter also took recruiting trips to Illinois, Oklahoma, Princeton, and Stanford.

Saturday was eventful for Wyoming Seminary senior Jude Correa. Not only did he win the Powerade Tournament for the third time, but he also announced he would attend Cornell at the conclusion of his senior year. 

Before his announcement, Correa was the highest-ranked uncommitted senior left in the Class of 2025. MatScouts has Correa tabbed as the #10 overall recruit in the class and he’s currently ranked number one in the nation at 215 lbs. 

In addition to the Powerade, Correa has won the Ironman twice, the Beast of the East once, and was top-five in both international styles at the 2022 UWW U17 World Team Trials. He has also claimed a pair of National Prep championships for Wyoming Seminary. Earlier this year, Correa was selected to participate in FloWrestling’s Who’s #1 dual and he got his hand raised after an 8-1 victory over California’s Nick Sahakian. 

Sahakian and Correa have crossed paths a couple of times now. Correa was originally committed to Michigan, and then Sahakian did the same—and signed. That led Correa to explore his options. In early December, Correa traveled to Ithaca and visited Cornell. 

Correa is the cherry on top of an impressive recruiting class for Mike Grey at Cornell. The Big Red can now boast three of the top-12 seniors in the nation (with #4 Anthony Knox/NJ and #12 Alessio Perentin/NJ). Cornell now has verbal commitments from eight of the top 53 wrestlers in the Class of 2025. It will certainly be in the running for the top overall spot in our recruiting rankings. 

Correa will attempt to become the first Cornell big man to earn All-American honors (and more). Cornell has never had an All-American at the heavyweight or unlimited weight class - a stunning fact for a program that has been an NCAA team trophy contender for much of the last 20 years. 

Though Correa is shorter than most of his counterparts, he does project at the 285 lb weight class. The Big Red does have a pair of potential heavyweights already in the Class of 2025 and some young ones on campus; however, it’s hard to pass up a wrestler of Correa’s ability level.

The Powerade Wrestling Tournament took place on Friday and Saturday on the campus of Canon-McMillan High School in Western Pennsylvania.

The Beast of the East took place on Saturday and Sunday on the campus of the University of Delaware. The Beast has long been regarded as one of the best in-season tournaments in the country. Competitors traveled from all over the nation to solidify themselves as one of the country’s best. The Beast is different than the Ironman because of the way it falls on the high school wrestling schedule. The Ironman is a week before New Jersey high schools are allowed to start competition. The Beast is after that dates and features many of them. 

Below are wrestlers who have already committed to wrestle in college and participated in the 2024 Beast of the East. They are listed by school and their results from the Beast are noted in parentheses. If they have two numbers - that is their record at the tournament; otherwise, a placement is noted.
