Please let me know if any of the above information is incorrect and needs to be changed or if any additions or deletions need to be made to the above list. On additions it helps if I receive a confirmation by posting or private message from the wrestler, a parent, high school coach or college coach. Also it helps if I can get any accomplishments like state championships, state placing or qualifying, league titles so I can make special mention of that in the announcement with the listing. A link to a newspaper article of the signing is also a good confirmation source. Thank you

Congratulations Trent! Great kid who always gave back to younger wrestlers. A beast on the field and on the mat, and as always, a great role model that many kids look up to. Good for you. You will do well in whatever you do!

Did I miss something? Where is Ryne Cokeley going to school?

I think they said on the Metro Classic broadcast Wisconsin.

I believe I heard that too on the broadcast but I want to be sure that is Ryne's final decision before I add that to the list. I would like to hear that either from Will, Ryne, Coach Medina, the Wisconsin coach or possibly see it on a Wisconsin website announcement before I would add that to this list.

Actually, I was watching Barry Davis (the Wisconsin coach) today during the medal round of the NCAAs and he mentioned getting a kid from Kansas. Was wondering who that was. Great catch for the Badgers and congratulations Ryne. And Will, good luck with the NCAA!
