A 2009 runner-up at the USA Wrestling freestyle national championships, Kindig ranks among America’s top prep wrestlers in both freestyle and Greco-Roman. He has finished no lower than fourth in any national tournament in either discipline since 2007. He won the cadet freestyle national title in 2007.
As a junior wrestling for Blue Mountain HS, Kindig won the Pennsylvania state title at 135 pounds to cap a 53-1 season. He enters his senior year with a 130-11 high school record.
“We’re excited to have Josh join us,” Smith said. “He has had a lot of success, both in freestyle and in Greco-Roman and has won state championships. We look forward to seeing him continue our success with wrestlers from Pennsylvania.”
Kindig is the latest Keystone State star to sign with Oklahoma State, joining 2008 NCAA Champion Coleman Scott (Waynesburg) and current Cowboy Jordan Oliver (Easton), in addition to former NCAA Champion Teague Moore (Pittsburgh).
Kindig had his choice of schools, ultimately selecting Oklahoma State over Ohio State.
