Cody Merrill, the #1 ranked high school wrestler in the nation at 220lbs and the #7 recruit in the class of 2024, announced his commitment to the Oklahoma State Cowboys.

Merrill, a senior at Gilroy High School in California, recently competed at Who's Number One, where he defeated Sawyer Bartelt of South Dade, Florida, to cement his status as the top 220-pounder in the country.
