Ironman Champ Jordan Titus Commits To West Virginia
Walsh Ironman and New York state champ announced his college commitment and verbals to wrestle for the West Virginia Mountaineers at the next level.
Coach Tim Flynn picked up a big-time commit from one of the best lightweights in the junior class today as Jordan Titus verballed to West Virginia.
After an undefeated junior season, Titus finished the year ranked #18 at 126 pounds. He spent the majority of the year down at 120, but bumped up for the postseason and won his second straight state title in New York, appearing in his fourth final.
He's our 20th-rated prospect on the Class of 2021 Big Board and projects as a 125 or 133 in college. With one year of high school remaining, that will become more clear depending on if he is a 126 or 132 next season.
The Mountaineers' lightweight future looks much brighter now. They're bringing in an Illinois state champ in Colton Drousias in the 2020 class, and they just got Pitt transfer Ryan Sullivan as well. Additionally, sophomore Lucas Seibert had a strong conference tournament that nearly saw him qualify for NCAAs.
Titus placed fourth at Super 32 in October, then won the Walsh Jesuit Ironman in December. He continued his strong season with a title at Eastern States in what proved to be a tremendously important junior year. He has an excellent Jonesy tilt and trains with past NCAA champ and current MMA fighter Gregor Gillespie.
