Today is signing day for all DI and DII sports aside from football and basketball. In some cases, we’ve heard about particular recruits being associated with schools for over a year; however, today they’re able to make it official by signing a National Letter of Intent (NLI). Now, coaches are able to speak publicly about their signees. If you’ve paid attention to social media, signing notices have been trickling out since early this morning. InterMat has been tracking these postings and has compiled them into a simple, easy-to-follow list. We have only listed recruits that have been made official by their respective programs. This list will be updated frequently over the next few days. Also, each recruits profile has been updated on our commitment page with their signing announcements. Italics refer to a recruit that was previously unreported to InterMat.

2021 NCAA champion Shane Griffith took time to sit down with Kevin Claunch and talk about his move to the Big Ten and Michigan. Griffith talks about his relationship with a new coaching staff and the fellow All-American transfers from Northwestern. He also discusses his new weight class and how that may lead to a healthier season in 2023-24. For the full interview: Click Here

The Hokies enter 2023 after a year for the record books where they crowned five All-Americans, finished ninth as a team at the NCAA tournament and won a share of the ACC dual title. They only lose one starter to graduation and return a very dangerous team that will be in the hunt for an ACC title and an NCAA team trophy. Last season saw the continued success of Sam Latona, Bryce Andonian, and Mekhi Lewis and the rise of some talented young wrestlers in Eddie Ventresca, Caleb Henson, and Tom Crook. The Hokies continue to reload with strong recruiting classes and are trying to fight their way into the top three teams in the country. It is going to be another fun season in Blacksburg. TOP RETURNERS Eddie Ventresca won the battle for the starting spot with Cooper Flynn and went on to earn his first All-American honors with an impressive performance in Tulsa. He was 22-9 on the year, with four of those losses coming in sudden victory. Two of those were his only losses in the ACC; he was 3-1 in duals and made the ACC finals with both losses being to Jarrett Trombley in SV. Ventresca seemed to find another gear in Tulsa and made an incredible run to get on the podium as a redshirt freshman. Sam Latona made his second trip to the podium in Tulsa. He shook off some questionable early season losses to finish the regular season at 22-5 including a win over eventual NCAA champion Vito Arujau. He dropped a tight match to Kai Orine at the ACC tournament that he would avenge a week later in the seventh-place bout. Latona enters the season as a three-time NCAA qualifier, two-time All-American, ACC Champion, and two-time ACC finalist. He is unquestionably one of the leaders of this Hokie squad and has shown incredible leadership in his time in Blacksburg. Caleb Henson was named ACC Freshman of the Year after putting together an impressive campaign as a true freshman that culminated on the podium in Tulsa. He started the season on an 8-0 run and put himself on the national radar with a win over NCAA finalist Sammy Sasso. He would go on to earn wins over seven All-Americans on the season. Henson was undefeated in ACC duals and won the ACC Championship over fellow freshman Jackson Arrington; which is going to be a fun rivalry to watch over the next few years. Henson put together a phenomenal run at the NCAA tournament after an early-round loss to place fifth. Bryce Andonian enters the season coming off his second-straight All-American finish. The electric factory is looking to add more highlights and more trophies to his collection in his final season in Blacksburg. He had a shortened season, returning for the back half of the season after aggravating an injury at the All-Star Classic. He was 12-4 on the year, with two of those losses to NCAA Champion Austin O’Connor in the dual and the ACC finals. Andonian seems more focused coming into this season, which could spell trouble for anyone lining up across from him. Mekhi Lewis enters his final year in Blacksburg as the most decorated Hokie wrestler of all-time and is looking to add a second NCAA title to his collection. He fought through multiple injuries, including a gnarly-looking dislocated finger during a match at the NCAA tournament, to finish in 4th place for his third All-American honor. He added another undefeated ACC season and a third ACC title to his resume last season as well. It’s hard to quantify what Mekhi has meant to this program, but suffice it to say, he is the face of Hokie Wrestling and is looking to go out on top. KEY DEPARTURES Hunter Bolen The Christiansburg Cowboy left his mark on the Hokie program. He earned All-American status in 2021 and fell one match short of a second trip to the podium last season, falling in the blood round. Bolen was a five-time NCAA qualifier, three-time ACC finalist, and one-time ACC champion. NEWCOMERS Mac Church and Hunter Mason will be battling for the starting spot at 141 this year and will both likely get an opportunity in the lineup early in the season. Church is a Waynesburg, PA product who was a two-time PA State Champion and three-time finalist who was ranked #49 on the Big Board. Mason was a four-time Tennessee State Champion, Dave Schultz Award winner and #85 on the Big Board. Both of them have huge potential and will be critical to the team success of the Hokies this year. Jimmy Mullen is a two-sport phenom for the Hokies, playing football and wrestling. Mullen was a three-time New Jersey State Championship; he chose to forgo the tournament one season to compete for Team USA in the Cadet World Championships. He was the New Jersey Wrestler of the Year and the Dave Schultz Award winner. Mullen will be a huge part of the continued success of the Hokies and will be a talented anchor for the top of the lineup moving forward. The plan is to redshirt this year, but he will likely utilize his five dates to get some time in the lineup. WRESTLER TO WATCH Sam Fisher The Virginia native has been patiently biding his time behind Hunter Bolen and is ready to make his mark for the Hokies. He is coming off a 23-5 season where he had dual wins over Duke, American, and George Mason to go along with solid performances at the Keystone Classic and in open tournaments. Fisher is also accomplished in freestyle, capturing a U20 Pan Am title during his time in Blacksburg. He isn’t the flashiest wrestler on the squad, but he is technically sound and has proven he can win. He will be an important element for the Hokies to have a chance at the ACC title and an NCAA trophy. TOP OUT-OF-CONFERENCE DUAL The Hokie coaching staff continually seeks out competitive out-of-conference duals and has a multi-year running home and home series scheduled with three top-10 programs. This season the #3 Hokies will face #7 Ohio State at home while they will see #2 Cornell and #4 Mizzou on the road. I can’t pick one of these as the “best” out-of-conference dual because they will all be fantastic matchups for different reasons. They will open the dual season against Ohio State at home and Cassell will be rocking. With all three of these being top-10 duals, we will have a full breakdown of each as the dual approaches.
