Three wrestlers ranked among the top 100 overall in the Class of 2016, verbally committed to Illinois on Friday afternoon. No. 74 Mike Carr (South Fayette, Pa.) was the first to announce followed by No. 46 Dylan Duncan (Montini Catholic, Ill.) and No. 61 Travis Piotrowski (Prairie Ridge, Ill.).
Carr is a two-time state placer and capped a perfect season (44-0) with his first PIAA state title this past winter at 138 pounds. He projects to compete at 141/149. Pennsylvania native Brooks Black (Blair Academy) is the only wrestler from the Keystone State on the Illinois roster.
Duncan is the biggest haul of the three.
