Super 32 Champ Kilkeary Knows His Next Move

Vinny Kilkeary has a Super 32 belt, a PIAA title, and is the #17 recruit in the class of 2023. The Latrobe, Pennsylvania junior has garnered attention from around the country for his exciting style, and now he has decided where he plans to compete and train at the next level.

Kilkeary projects as a 125-pounder, and he adds strength to the Buckeyes' recruiting efforts in the class of 2023. This news comes during one of the biggest weeks in Ohio State Wrestling recruiting history. On Wednesday, Jesse Mendez, the top recruit in the class of 2022, committed to tOSU which gives Tom Ryan and company the top three recruits in this year's senior class. They're off to a hot start for the junior class as well.

Ohio State has a history of landing big-time recruits from Latrobe. All-Americans Luke Pletcher and Ethan Smith helped build the Latrobe to Columbus pipeline, and now Kilkeary is following in their footsteps.
