Raney Brothers Pick Oklahoma State

I'm curious how they and Jax will settle out on weight since they are all 3 pretty close to the same at the moment. That said, I know there is lots of growing that is going to happen between now and when they step on campus.

What a STACKED class!!! Forrest, Ross, the Raney brothers, and Merrill! So pumped.
 
Jordyn and Jayden Raney, who were expected to commit to Iowa today, just committed to the Cowboys live on Flowrestling. They're the #5 and #6 ranked high school wrestlers of the 2026 class. This means that OSU now has 4 of the top 7 high school recruits of the 2026 class. The brothers stated that they aim to wrestle at 133lbs and 149lbs for the cowboys. Both brothers have won U17 gold medals and Jayden has even secured a USA Senior world team for Greco at 55kgs. DT and staff has been putting together a super impressive recruiting class. Here's a look at the potential 2026-2027 lineup:

125: Spratley (RSSR), Ramirez (RSFR)
133: Raney (FR), Sakamoto (RSSO), McComas (RSSO)
141: Forrest (FR), Hughes (RSSO)
149: Swiderski (RSSR), Jamison (RSSR), Vega (RSFR), Raney (FR)
157: Robideau (RSFR), Hickman (RSFR)
165: Lockett (SO), Routledge (RSFR), Young (RSSO)
174: Facundo (RSSR)
184: Ryder (RSSO), Thompson (RSJR), Robb (RSJR)
197: Merrill (RSSO)
285: Ross (RSFR)

Obviously this is just a prediction and the lineup could significantly change but this is just an educated guess based on the information currently available to us. I believe Hughes, Swiderski, Jamison, Vega, Robideau, and may even Lockett could go different weights by this time.

They said that they would go at 133 and 149. Guessing Jax at 141.
 
The RTC emphasis continues to make a difference. OSU as a brand in wrestling has always been good but there has been a boost this spring. Hamiti/Hendrickson win NCAAs, Hendrickson is all over the media, Jax Forrest picks OSU, Success at US Open, Success at Pan and, Raney brothers pick OSU - There's still more to come with world team trials and final x this summer. The average fan is not following wrestling this time of year, but the high level recruits want freestyle/greco success, so this summer matters, and OSU is doing great.
 
A couple things worth noting: (1) where does Sergio Vega fit in with the Raney brothers? He is expected to compete at 141/149; and (2) Jax and the Raney brothers could take a redshirt in 26-27 and an Olympic redshirt in 27-28. Although I doubt they do take a redshirt in their first year, taking an Olympic redshirt is definitely a strong possibility.
