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.

We are nearing the midway point of ACC dual competition and we have Rivalry Week coming in strong. Virginia will travel to Virginia Tech and North Carolina State will cross town to face North Carolina in what could be a very scrappy dual. The conference dual title continues to be very much up for grabs with NC State and North Carolina both undefeated with Pittsburgh, Virginia Tech, and Stanford all fighting to stay in contention with one loss each. There will be some fun matchups tonight with Virginia and Virginia Tech getting the Rock and Shawn treatment on ACC Network while the Tar Heels host the Pack and Stanford travels to Oregon State with streaming options on ESPN+ and ACCNx. Virginia at #9 Virginia Tech 125: #26 Keyveon Roller v #5 Eddie Ventresca 133: #26 Gable Porter OR Kyle Montaperto v #19 Connor McGonagle 141: #17 Dylan Cedeno v #10 Sam Latona 149: #30 Jack Gioffre v #1 Caleb Henson 157: Nick Sanko v #10 Rafael Hipolito OR Matt Henrich 165: #22 Nick Hamilton v #29 Mac Church 174: Michael Murphy v #24 Lennox Wolak 184: Griffin Gammell OR Hadyn Danals v #24 TJ Stewart 197: Stephen Burrell OR Ethan Weatherspoon v #8 Andy Smith 285: Gabe Christensen v #14 Jimmy Mullen The battle for Virginia supremacy will be the Friday Night Dual on the ACC Network this week. The Hokies have owned the Commonwealth Clash over the better part of the past decade and will be in the driver's seat to continue that run on Friday in Blacksburg. Both teams rested several starters last week with illness and/or injuries; it sounds like the Hokies should be back to nearly full strength while the Hoos continue to deal with illness throughout the lineup. Even with a few starters out, there will be some big matches to keep your eye on in Cassell Coliseum. I have been very impressed with Keyveon Roller since he moved down to 125; he is returning from an injury and will have a big test in former All-American Eddie Ventresca. 133 could be one of the sneaky good matches in this one with either Porter or Montaperto for the Hoos and Connor McGonagle looking to continue some positive momentum for the Hokies. Dylan Cedeno is undefeated at 141 since his second-semester start and will face one of the toughest opponents of the year in two-time All-American Sam Latona. Nick Hamilton is coming off a one-takedown loss to All-American Hunter Garvin against Stanford and will look to get back in the thick of the 165 battle against Mac Church who is coming off a close loss to Aidan Wallace. The biggest story of the dual may be the return of two key Hokies; National Champion Caleb Henson and bloodround finisher Andy Smith are both back for the first time in 2025. #8 North Carolina State at #18 North Carolina 125: #3 Vince Robinson or Louie Gill v #13 Spencer Moore 133: #12 Kai Orine or Troy Hohman v #13 Ethan Oakley 141: Tyler Tracy v #22 Jayden Scott 149: #21 Koy Buesgens v #5 Lachlan McNeil 157: #14 Ed Scott v #19 Sonny Santiago 165: #27 Derek Fields or Luke Ahrberg v Charlie Darracott 174: #20 Matty Singleton v #17 Joshua Ogunsanya 184: #15 Dylan Fishback v #22 Gavin Kane 197: #26 Christian Knop or Andrew Macchiavello v Cade Lautt 285: #4 Isaac Trumble v Nolan Neves The in-state rivalry will determine which team sits atop the ACC dual standings with both teams coming in undefeated. The Pack has owned the series of late, winning the last 11 straight, but this may be the closest dual in recent years. The Tar Heels opened ACC competition with an upset win over Virginia Tech and they have looked solid up and down the lineup. There are some spicy head to head matches in this one to look forward to, starting at 125. Robinson and Moore have both faced multiple top-10 opponents this season with both holding a win in their most recent - Moore topped #5 Eddie Ventresca in sudden victory and Robinson took out #4 Troy Spratley 7-3 in their dual in Stillwater. 125 is a solid weight in the conference and this will be a big match in determining seeding for the ACC tournament. 133 will be another important match. Orine is coming off a win in the Pittsburgh dual after getting injured in his loss against Oklahoma State and will be looking to gain some momentum. Oakley is 2-0 in conference but is looking for a signature win - he has a big opportunity against a two-time All-American in Orine. 157 could be a fun one with Scott and Santiago; if they both open up there could be fireworks. Second-semester transfer Charlie Darracott looks like he will get his first shot in the lineup as a Tar Heel against Derek Fields. 174 and 184 are important matches in my eye - both for the dual and for conference tournament seeding; they should also both be tightly contested bouts. Ogunsanya is 2-0 in conference and Singleton is coming off a tough loss in TB2 against Luca Augustine. It is a similar story at 184 with Kane coming in at 2-0 and looking dangerous against Fishback who is coming off a tough loss to Reece Heller and is looking to rebound. I’m hopeful that this is a competitive dual, the conference is better when this rivalry is a fight. Duke at #15 Pittsburgh 125: Ethan Grimminger v #23 Nick Babin 133: Raymond Adams v Tyler Chappell 141: Christian Colman v Anthony Santaniello OR Briar Priest 149: SP O’Donnell v #22 Finn Solomon 157: Logan Ferrero v #24 Dylan Evans 165: #28 Aidan Wallace v Jared Keslar 174: Gaetano Console v #19 Luca Augustine 184: David Hussey v #14 Reece Heller 197: Kwasi Bonsu v #10 Mac Stout 285: #29 Connor Barket v #13 Dayton Pitzer The Blue Devils drew the short straw in scheduling this year and don’t get an off week until the final week of the regular season. They travel to Pittsburgh this week for a Saturday afternoon dual against the Panthers. Duke is 0-3 so far in ACC competition while the Panthers have split their two conference duals with an upset win over Stanford and a 20-13 loss to the Wolfpack last week. Duke picked up a ranked win from Aidan Wallace over Mac Church last week and will look to continue that momentum. Jared Keslar is a scrappy match for Wallace at 165 this weekend. I’m also watching the heavyweight bout to see how each of them responds to taking a loss last week; a win here will be important for seeding. #16 Stanford at Oregon State 125: -- vs. #11 Maximo Renteria 133: #6 Tyler Knox vs. Damion Elliott 141: #21 Jason Miranda OR Jack Consiglio v Nash Singleton 149: #7 Jaden Abas v #33 Ethan Stiles OR Ayden Garver 157: #28 Grigor Cholakyan v CJ Hamblin 165: #14 Hunter Garvin OR Zach Hanson v Murphy Menke OR Steele Starren 174: #4 Lorenzo Norman OR Collin Guffey v Sean Harman 184: Tye Monteiro v TJ McDonnell 197: #22 Nick Stemmet OR Brook Byers v Trey Munoz OR Vaun Halstead 285: #32 Peter Ming v #17 Brett Mower The Cardinal will use their off week from conference duals to face a familiar opponent in Oregon State. Stanford has looked great in their first season in the ACC and in addition to the conference slate, they have taken on an incredibly challenging out-of-conference schedule. They are coming off a dominant performance over a patchwork UVA team last week and are highly favored in this dual, though there will be some tough tests. There are a few matches I’m looking forward to in Corvallis. Jason Miranda has looked fantastic since returning to the lineup and he will have a scrappy Nash Singleton. Jaden Abas will have a ranked matchup against Ethan Stiles which could be fun. It sounds like Trey Munoz may be out with an injury, but if he faces Nick Stemmett, it will be a great opportunity for Stemmett to pick up a big win.
