A big announcement landed Sunday from wrestling recruit AJ Heeg as the former OU commit announced he will be staying in Stillwater for college and wrestling for the Cowboys.

I'd like to say thanks to all the coaches that reached out to me when I reopened my recruitment process. With that being said I have decided to stay home, become a cowboy, and help bring back some more National Championships to Gallagher-Iba.🤠 #gopokes pic.twitter.com/c1HLi7CWct

Heeg, a two-time 6A state champion and member of the 2023 recruiting class, completed his sophomore and junior seasons at Edmond Memorial and moved to Stillwater over the summer. He will wrestle his senior season for the Pioneers.

Heeg was originally committed to OU but reopened his recruitment last week before an official visit to OSU on Saturday. He announced the commitment just one day after his official visit.

Heeg was a Junior National Finalist this summer at Fargo finishing second. His finish was the highest of any Oklahoman in the Junior Boys Division at the tournament. Heeg competed at 182 last season and projects as a college 184-197. Heeg ranks #52 on Willie Saylor’s Senior Big Board. The Cowboys now have the following ranked commitments for the 2023 recruiting class.
