Marcus Blaze is the #1 overall recruit in the class of 2025 but unlike every other top recruit in the country, Blaze has not yet made his decision on where he will wrestle in college. However, on Tuesday, Blaze's wrestling club released a post on X stating Blaze has narrowed his choices to Ohio State, Purdue, and Penn State. On top of that, he plans to make his decision on Wednesday, November 13 at 7:30 am (ET).

Marcus Blaze's Accolades

Wherever Blaze chooses to attend college, he's sure to be an immediate impact based on what he's achieved before his senior year of high school. Blaze won a U17 world title in 2023 and followed that up by winning a U20 world silver medal this year. He also had incredible success on the senior level this year placing third at the Olympic Trials at 57 kg and second at the World Team Trials at 61 kg. With a full year left of high school, Blaze already has wins over accomplished college wrestlers like Daton Fix, Nahshon Garrett, and Seth Gross.

On the folkstyle side, Blaze is almost just as accomplished. He's a three-time Ohio state champion and will be going for his fourth title this year. He's also won the prestigious Ironman tournament and has placed at Super 32 twice. Last season, Blaze tested himself at the Clarion Open in November and placed second while notably defeating NCAA runner-up Matt Ramos. Blaze is truly one of the most accomplished high school wrestlers of all time and will carry huge expectations with him to the next level.
