U17 World Medalist Villasenor Commits to Oklahoma State

They had the #2 overall recruiting class in 2025. Their 2026 class is poised to be the best in the country. Now, Oklahoma State’s Class of 2027 is off and running with an excellent commitment leading the way. 

Ignacio Villasenor (Stillwater, OK) has given David Taylor’s team a verbal commitment. Villasenor is the #23 overall recruit in the Class of 2027 and currently ranked third in the nation at 120 lbs. 

Villasenor’s commitment shouldn’t be a huge surprise as he is originally from Colorado, but had moved to Stillwater earlier in his high school career. 

In 2023, Villasenor was a bronze medalist in freestyle at the U17 World Championships, while competing at 45 kg. This year, Villasenor was fourth at the UWW U17 Trials at 55 kg. 

Heading into his junior year of high school competition, Villasenor already has a pair of state championships under his belt. One in Colorado and another in Oklahoma. 

Other notable credentials for Villasenor include a pair of top-three finishes at the Walsh Ironman (2,3), and two placements at the Super 32 (5,6). 

Before the 2024-25 high school season, Villasenor participated in FloWrestling’s Who’s #1 event and downed Ohio State recruit Dom Munaretto 7-5 in the 113 lb bout. 

Villasenor was last in action in Fargo and was up at 126 lbs for Junior freestyle. He advanced to the Round of 12 and narrowly missed out on the podium. 

At the next level, Villasenor projects as 125/133 lber. Oklahoma State has a lot of young talent either in the room, or on the way, in that range, so we’ll see how that plays out.
