One wrestler that has flown under the radar because of the abundance of talent in Pennsylvania is Jordan Moss of Sharon High School, a three-time Pennsylvania state placewinner and a 2008 state champion.
On Wednesday, Moss made a verbal commitment to the University of Pittsburgh. He also considered Michigan State, Hofstra, Edinboro, Old Dominion, and Clarion.
"I decided to go to Pitt because of its education, coaches, and it's close to my family," said Moss, who has a career record of 121-8. "Family means a lot to me and I love to have them at my back. Pitt has a family-like environment with all the culture and everything that is down there. I just feel comfortable. Another thing is too many PA wrestlers leave PA. And I take pride in my state. Another is I am a fan of the Sixburgh City of Champions. It doesn't get much better than the black and gold."
Moss plans to compete at 145 or 152 pounds this season and projects at 157/165 pounds in college.
"My college goals are ultimately to be a national champ and All-American," said Moss. "My second is to come out with a good degree and have a job making money straight out of college. I want to major in something in the business field."
