NORMAN — Oklahoma wrestling head coach Lou Rosselli announced Thursday the signing of five wrestlers to National Letters of Intent. Jaryn Curry, Tommy Hoskins, Josiah Jones, Anthony Madrigal and Jordan Rosselli will join the Sooners for the 2018-19 season.

“It's a pretty strong recruiting class,” Coach Rosselli said. “I'm very happy to have the kids that we have. I think if they come in and do the things they're capable of, they should definitely help the program.”

“A great athlete, and I think he will contribute. When he gets in a structured program like this, he's going to excel. I'm looking for a certain type of person, and he fits the mold. With getting an education and working out twice a day, people that can handle that rigor are the kind of people we want, and I think he fits it. That'll help our program build a culture, and I think he can help us do that.”

“Tony's a good top wrestler who I think has been well-coached. I think he'll be a 133 or 141 wrestler down the road, and that will be an asset to the program. He's good on top, and I think he's competitive. He wrestles nationally, which is always something you look for. His pedigree is high, and I'm looking forward to him being here.”
