Everyone knew the Oklahoma Class of 2015 would be special. We've followed their careers since one of the most abundant crop of talents were winning Roller Titles. 

This is the time of year to find out where they'll continue their careers in college. Five of the nine Oklahomans listed in the Top 100 recruits on the SR Big Board had already made their choices. On Tuesday two more made their commitments.

From perennial powerhouse Broken Arrow HS, Markus Simmons, ranked #7 at 126lbs will head to Ames, while #9-Davion Jeffries (132) is Norman-bound.

Simmons is a two-time State Champion and three-time finalist who placed 4th at Ironman and 5th FloNationals. He'll join Kevin Jackson as a Cyclone. He chose Iowa State over Missouri and Oklahoma on a list that also included Maryland, Virginia, and Oklahoma State.

Jeffries wrestled his first two seasons at Collinsville, Okla.,  is also a three-time finalist, two-time Champ. He placed 8th at Ironman and 6th at FloNationals and boasts two Fargo All-American performances. He'll stay in state and wrestle for the Sooners.
