Top 10 Uncommitted California High School Wrestlers from 2021
Richard Figueroa, a 3X CIF State Champion from Selma HS, has already decided that he will attend Arizona State University. He is on track to win his fourth title to join the super elite club of winning four CIF State titles. Only four other California wrestlers have completed this (Darrell Vasquez, Justin Mejia, Seth Nevills & Jesse Vasquez).
Maximo Renteria (University of Illinois commit) from Buchanan high school has also won three CIF State titles in his three years in high school. College coaches have taken notice of him and is one of the top recruits in the nation from his class. There are several wrestlers that placed at state last season as juniors and will be looking to add another state medal to their walls. Here are the top wrestlers from the class of 2021 that are uncommitted and should be giving their college commitments within the next year. We thought it would be fun to predict a few colleges where each wrestler could find a home.
Comment below on who we might have missed from the class of 2021.
