“Let’s go cowboy" - Jax Forrest and Daton Fix show support as David Taylor’s Oklahoma State Wrestling lands top-4 2027 recruit

Jax Forrest and Daton Fix shared their reactions as David Taylor's Oklahoma State earned the signing of another talented wrestling prospect in Ignacio Villasenor. Forrest, who committed to Oklahoma State in February 2025, and Fix, who currently wrestles for the Oklahoma team, expressed their excitement as Villasenor is currently ranked as the #4 recruit as part of the class of 2027 according to Flo Wrestling.

Jax Forrest is regarded as one of the best up-and-coming wrestlers in the nation at the moment. Competing mainly at 61 kg, Forrest made his breakthrough when he won the U17 World Silver Medal in freestyle wrestling at 55 kg. He would go on to establish himself further by earning a spot at the U.S Olympic Wrestling Team trials after posting an undefeated record at the 2024 Last Chance Olympic Team Trials held in Virginia. Forrest is also a U.S Open Champion at 61 kg.

In a post on Instagram, Villasenor shared his thoughts on joining Oklahoma State, writing:

"I’m looking forward to starting this new chapter at OSU, I couldn’t be any prouder of myself, as this has been a goal/dream of mine for a very long time."

Forrest commented on the post, writing:

"let's go cowboy 🤠."

Daton Fix also wrote:
