AJ Ferrari, the top overall recruit in the 2020 class, is “likely” to start at 197 pounds for Oklahoma State this coming season, coach John Smith said Thursday.
Ferrari would take over the starting spot from returning All-American Dakota Geer, who went 24-8 this past season after being at 184 pounds for the Oklahoma City Open and during the 2018-19 season.
Geer, a redshirt senior and transfer Edinboro, will likely move down to 184 where could have to wrestle-off against redshirt sophomore Anthony Montalvo, who was 25-6 last season at 184. Smith said Montalvo “may choose” to move down to 174, which is vacant after starter Joe Smith graduated this past spring.
