Raney Twins Commit to Oklahoma State

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.
