Cowboy Wrestling: Top 2027 Prospect Melvin Miller Includes Oklahoma State in Top 4

The Cowboys are still in the running for the best wrestling prospect in the 2027 recruiting class.

Melvin Miller on Monday announced that he is down to four schools: Oklahoma State, Penn State, Nebraska and Virginia Tech. Miller last updated his list of suitors at the beginning of September but has since cut Michigan and Ohio State from consideration.

He wrestled U20s at the U.S. Open in April, finishing second to incoming Penn State freshman PJ Duke in the 70 kg (about 154 pounds) bracket. Duke beat Miller 8-5 before Duke went on to to win the United State’s senior spot at the World Championships. The college football and college basketball worlds would call this a quality loss.

Miller then wrestled at the U20 World Team Trails, where he came second to Landon Robideau, who will be a freshman at OSU this season. Miller beat Kody Routledge, another incoming freshman for the Cowboys, at that tournament.

On top of that, Miller is a two-time Pennsylvania state champ and a two-time Fargo winner. He won his Fargo final in July with a 13-2 tech.

Miller is a high school teammate of OSU 2026 commit Jax Forrest, but Miller has a closer tie on that Bishop McCort (PA) team. He is an adopted brother of 2026 prospect Bo Bassett. Bassett was previously committed to Iowa but reopened his recruitment. Miller and Bassett have since taken visits to Nebraska and Virginia Tech together. So, it’s a wonder if the two are a package deal, with those two schools looking like the frontrunners to this point.
