Last November OSU arguably had the most successful recruiting week in the history of the program.
The biggest commitment of that week was Daniel Kerkvliet Jr. The 220-pound junior, and projected college heavyweight from Simley, Minnesota already has a very impressive prep career. He picked up a Cadet World Title, three state titles, and only has one high school loss. That loss came at the hands of top 2018 recruit Gable Steveson,who some have regarded as the greatest high school wrestler ever. In that match Kerkvliet actually bumped up a weight to wrestle Steveson and really pushed him and gave him a great match.
