The good news keeps rolling in as it pertains to the Cowboy wrestling program.

Holman ranks fourth in Flo’s 190-pound rankings, which is regardless of classification. The top guy in those rankings is OSU 2026 signee Michael White.

He won his third state title in February, and none of his matches lasted longer than 48 seconds, as he went pin, pin, pin, pin.

Holman won his state title as a sophomore at 157 pounds. In that bracket, he pinned his first three foes in the first period before earning a second-period tech in the final.

Holman took fifth in freestyle at Fargo last year at 175 pounds. He also wrestled in the Greco bracket at the event, where he took second. He took eighth at Super 32 in October at 190 pounds, an event White took fifth at.

Holman marks the third pledge in Taylor’s 2027 class, joining top 10 recruits Ignacio Villasenor (No. 7) and Tanner Hodgins (No. 9).

This star-studded class continues a trend for Taylor since taking over the OSU program.

Taylor’s current lineup is littered with freshmen, as Jax Forrest, Sergio Vega, Landon Robideau and Dee Lockett are all true freshmen who will wrestle at nationals for the Cowboys next week.

Then on top of that, OSU’s 2026 class ranks first nationally and features Dreshaun Ross, Jordyn Raney, Jayden Raney, Michael White and Rocklin Zinkin.
