U17 World Team Member Jeter Commits to Cornell

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.
