Ohio State's wrestling program is not shy about its goals: win the Big Ten, and win a national title. The expectations are high, but the results in recent years have included a national title and three of the past four Big Ten championships.
Attracting and developing elite talent is what makes those results possible, and Ohio State's staff is doing that as well as any program in the country aside from the Penn State dynasty holding seven of the past eight NCAA titles. The Buckeyes finish the 2018 recruiting cycle with the No. 2 class in the land, behind Penn State, according to both FloWrestling and InterMat.
