High school superstar Bo Bassett will announce his commitment decision on Tuesday. On Monday, the Bishop McCort standout trimmed his list of finalists from seven to four, including Penn State wrestling.

In addition to the Nittany Lions, Iowa, Oklahoma State, and Virginia Tech made Bassett’s list of finalists. On January 18, Bassett released his top seven which also included Michigan, Ohio State, and Rutgers.

“Those are the four I could see myself at the most,” Bassett told FloWrestling Radio Live. “And that’s what it came down to.”
