Travis Wittlake defeated Aaron Brooks in the UWW Cadet National freestyle finals (Photo/Sam Janicki)2016 Cadet World medalist Travis Wittlake (Marshfield, Ore.) announced a change in collegiate wrestling plans on Tuesday evening, switching his commitment from Penn State to Oklahoma State. The No. 3 overall wrestler in the Class of 2018 is the initial top 100 commit for the Cowboys in this class; last year's class for Oklahoma State was ranked eleventh, headlined by Junior world champion Daton Fix.
In addition to his Cadet World bronze medal in 2016, Wittlake repeated as UWW Cadet National champion this spring at 76 kilograms, but injury precluded him from competing at the World Championships in Greece. His replacement, Aaron Brooks, would win a gold medal in that tournament. Wittlake is also a three-time state champion and five-time Cadet National champion (2015 and 2016 in folkstyle and Greco-Roman, 2016 in freestyle). He projects to compete collegiate as a 174/184, and starts the 2017-18 season ranked No. 1 nationally at 182.
