The Cowboys picked up a huge commitment from the #1 wrestler in the class of 2023. Christian Carroll announced his decision to attend Oklahoma State via social media Monday afternoon.

It has been an interesting recruiting saga for Carroll. The Indiana native originally committed to Illinois when he was a sophomore. Then, on November 1st of 2021, he flipped to Penn. With signing day just around the corner, Oklahoma State is sure to be locked in.

Carroll earned his #1 overall ranking by winning Super 32, Fargo, and making a Greco U20 World Team among other things. Watch Carroll take out #2 in the country, Iowa commit Ben Kueter, in the Fargo finals below.
