    Oster signs with NU

    EVANSTON, Ill. -- Northwestern head coach Drew Pariano has announced the addition of four-time Illinois state place-winner Jameson Oster to the Wildcat wrestling program as an incoming freshman in 2011. Oster won a 2009 IHSA state championship at 119 pounds and completed his prep career as the all-time wins leader at Lockport High School (Ill.) with a record of 153-12.

    Oster also has enjoyed success on the national level, last month winning an Illinois state freestyle championship. In 2009 he was a Cadet Freestyle All-American and FILA Cadet All-American as well as a member of the Illinois team that defeated Minnesota for the Cadet National Duals freestyle championship, winning his match without being scored on in two periods.

    He is the last in a line of four brothers who made a significant impact on the Lockport wrestling program, with the oldest Oster, Josh, recent taking over the school's head coaching position after eight years as an assistant. While at Lockport, Jameson Oster was a teammate of rising Northwestern junior Kevin Bialka.

    Oster projects to compete at 133 pounds for Northwestern. His complete bio can be found below:
