The Sand Springs (Okla.) senior announced his decision to wrestle for Oklahoma State on Wednesday afternoon, and will also sign his National Letter of Intent.
The nation's No. 4 recruit chose Oklahoma State over Penn State, Ohio State, Nebraska and North Carolina.
"Signing Daton Fix was the key to this class," Oklahoma State head wrestling coach John Smith said in a statement. "I'm very excited about him choosing Oklahoma State. Our families have been together for a long time. His dad and I wrestled here at Oklahoma State. He's been very successful not only at Sand Springs, but representing the United States as well. He's a great young man that has great habits and everything that a coach is looking for."
Fix was UWW Junior bronze medalist in freestyle at 55 kilograms this past summer, after earning bronze at the UWW Cadet world championships at 54 kilograms last summer.
The three-time state champion is also a two-time placer at the Super 32 Challenge, a 2015 FloNationals champion, and a three-time champion in Fargo (including a Junior freestyle title in 2015). Ranked No. 1 nationally at 132 pounds to enter the 2016-17 season, Fix projects to compete as a 125-pounder college.
