Griffin Parriott is the nation's No. 22 recruit by InterMat
Two-time state champion Griffin Parriott (New Prague, Minn.), the nation's No. 22 recruit, verbally committed to Purdue on Wednesday morning, where he joins No. 75 Devin Schroder (Grand Rapids Catholic Central, Mich.) as a top 100 wrestler in the Boilermakers' 2016 recruiting class. Parriott was undefeated on his way to a second consecutive state title in 2014-15, which included victories in the finals of the Minnesota Christmas Tournament and Cheesehead Invitational over nationally ranked wrestlers.
Before the season, Parriott placed fifth in the Super 32 Challenge and was a runner-up at the InterMat JJ Classic. This spring he was third at 66 kilos in the UWW Junior Nationals. Parriott projects as a 157-pound wrestler in college.
Purdue finished this past season with a 10-8 dual meet record under the direction of first-year head coach Tony Ersland. Eight Boilermakers qualified for the NCAAs, a program high that was previously accomplished in 1993 and 2003.
