Mantanona is the fifth Top-100 recruit in the class of 2017 to verbal to the Sooners. Joining Mantanona in Norman will be Dom Demas, Tanner Litterell, Kyle Lawson, and Jake Woodley. The addition of Mantanona solidifies the run of middleweights the Sooners hope to roll out over the next few years.

The Golden State stud heads into his final high school season as the ninth-ranked 170-pounder in the country. He has placed fourth and second at the California state tournament over the past two years. He won FloNationals in March and a junior Fargo Greco title in July.
