Top 10 Uncommitted California High School Wrestlers from 2023

Last season the class of 2023 produced one state champion in Nicco Ruiz from St. John Bosco. Ruiz had an amazing year winning every tournament he entered. As one of the top recruits in the entire nation, Ruiz gave it verbal commitment to wrestle at Arizona State. Tye Monteiro from Bakersfield, placed 2nd behind state champion, Joseph Martin, at 182 lbs. last season. Monteiro is now a 2X state placer and will be looking for his third medal next year. Monteiro has given his commitment to wrestle at Stanford. Beau Mantanona from Palm Desert gave his verbal commitment in February to the University of Michigan. Many people were shocked that he didn’t follow his brother’s footsteps in signing with Oklahoma but should be a great fit for him.

Our number one uncommitted recruit is Maxx Martinez who had to skip last season due to injury. Look for him to have an amazing season should he be able to come back strong and healthy.
