Oklahoma State wrestling: Illinois state champion Daniel Jezik signs with Cowboys

Oklahoma State added another top-200 prospect to its 2020 class with Daniel Jezik’s signing Wednesday.

The Coal City, Illinois native went 28-0 and won the 182-pound title in Illinois’ Class 2A division — the second highest division in Illinois’ three class system — as a junior. The year before he lost by technical fall in the Class 1A 160-pound final to Danny Braunagel, who is now the University of Illinois’ 165-pound starter.

Jezik is also a star running back with 2,005 rushing yards this season for the top-ranked and undefeated Coalers, who play in the quarterfinals this weekend.
