I have been thinking about who would be included in the list of top 5 college wrestlers in OSU history. There is a great list and tough to choose 5. This is based on college accomplishments and not international success. Although John Smith is one of, if not the greatest American Wrestler of all time, he is close, l but not sure he makes this list.
1. Pat Smith
2. Yojiro Uetake
3. Alex Derringer
4. Eric Guererro
5. Mike Sheets
There are others that may be included, but didn't see them wrestle - Jimmy Jackson, Myron Roderick, Ricky Stewart. There were many others I thought were great to watch and dominating, but for a career, were just below - Kenny Monday, Chris Barnes, Chris Pendelton, Kendall Cross, Chris Owens, Alan Fried, Mark Branch, Steve Mocco, Jordon Oliver, Johnny Thompson, Johnny Hendricks, Jake Rosholt and others.
If Dean Heil is undefeated next year, where does he fit on the list of all time greats.
