Ohio State Wrestling Incoming Class Earns No. 2 Ranking from W.I.N. Magazine
OSU lone Big Ten Conference school in Top 5

COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio State wrestling team’s incoming freshman class for the 2007-08 season was deemed second-best in the nation Wrestling International Newsmagazine announced in its May issue. The No. 2 standing gives the Buckeyes the highest standing among Big Ten Conference schools. Oklahoma State was No. 1, while Virginia Tech rounded out the Top 3.

Head coach Tom Ryan and his coaching staff of Tommy Rowlands and Lou Rosselli just completed their first season at the helm of the OSU program. With that came their first full year of recruiting for the Scarlet and Gray.

“Our entire staff is very pleased with the group of young men who represent the 2006-07 recruiting class,” Ryan said. “Tommy Rowlands did a great job fostering strong friendships with hardworking student-athletes throughout the process. Our goal was to keep the best student-athletes in the state of Ohio and we accomplished that in our first year as a new staff. Keeping the best at home is a priority.”

Ryan welcomed four Ohio natives during the fall signing period in Bo Touris (125) of West Chester Lakota West, Sean Nemec (157) of Lakewood St. Edward, Colt Sponseller (165) of Millersburg West Holmes and John Weakley (197) of Cuyahoga Valley Christian Academy. Joining those four was Nikko Triggas (125) of Moraga Campolindo in California.

Highlighting the spring class is Patrick Zamaria (119) of Brecksville High School in Brecksville, Ohio, two-time Ohio state champion Pat Harrington (125) of St. MaryÂ’s Central Catholic and state champion Jesse Campbell (HWT) of Sullivan Black River.
