Navonte Demison Commits to Arizona State
CIF State champion Navonte Demison has committed to wrestle for Zeke Jones and the Arizona State Sun Devils. On Wednesday the Californian made it official when he made the announcement. Just two years ago it was Zahid and Anthony Valenica as well as Cade Olivas from St. John Bosco high school who committed to Arizona State. This past season Demison won the CIF State title at 138 lbs. by fall over Jacob Wright (Dinuba HS). Next season as a senior he’ll be looking for his second CIF title and would become a four-time CIF State placer. Demison is projected to wrestle at 149 lbs. in the Fall of 2017.

2X State Champ Ronnie Ramirez to Oklahoma State
The hire of David Taylor at Oklahoma State is already paying off as they landed a top recruit in Ronnie Ramirez last week. The two-time California state champ from Walnut High School is currently ranked as the #28 wrestler in the class of 2025. He announced his decision on Instagram last week stating he’s excited to be a Cowboy and that he’s been dreaming of this since he was a kid.
In addition to his two California state titles, Ramirez also won Doc B and Reno this season and finished 3rd at Super 32. He was 5-2 at the U20 US Open with a victory over PIAA and National Prep champ Nate Desmond who beat him in the Super 32 quarterfinals this fall.
Ramirez is currently ranked #5 at 120 lbs. and will compete at 125 lbs. for Oklahoma State in the Fall of 2025.
