Eddie Klimara (Providence Catholic, Ill.), a two-time state champion and four-time state finalist, recently returned from visits to Oklahoma State and Virginia Tech, but ultimately decided he wanted to be a Cowboy and wrestle for John Smith.

"There were a lot of reasons I liked Oklahoma State, but I'd have to say it was because of all the kids down there," said Klimara, who became the last Class of 2012 wrestler in the InterMat Top 100 to commit to a college. "I knew most of them and got along with them well, and the coaches were awesome. But overall just the whole atmosphere down there ... wrestling and school was amazing."

This past January Klimara become the 12th four-time Catholic League champion in Illinois. He was also a four-time Dvorak champion. Klimara claimed a Junior National freestyle title in 2010.

Klimara projects as a 125-pounder in college.
