Bryan Pearsall enters his second season as the recruiting coordinator at Oklahoma State following a successful decade on the coaching circuit. Pearsall helped Coach Taylor garner the second-ranked recruiting class in the country in his first season with the Cowboys. Oklahoma State brought in 10 wrestlers, including three wrestlers ranked in FloWrestling’s top six in LaDarion Lockett, Sergio Vega and Landon Robideau. Pearsall has seen continued success heading into the 2025-26 season, landing verbal commitments from four of the top six wrestlers in the country. Pearsall joined the program having spent the past seven seasons at Penn, where he originally began as an assistant prior to his promotion to associate head coach less than a year into his tenure. An instrumental piece of several top-25 classes, Pearsall saw Penn reach unprecedented levels on the recruiting trail, highlighted by a ninth-ranked overall class in 2019. While at Penn, his wrestlers qualified for 34 appearances at NCAA Championships, earned 39 placements at the EIWA Championships, won a pair of individual conference titles and were named All-Ivy honorees 36 times. In his final season as a Quaker, Penn finished in a tie for fourth at the EIWA Championships with 90.5 points before sending eight of its 10 starters to the NCAA Championships two weeks later. There, tenth-seeded Nick Incontrera led the charge at 174 pounds, reaching the Round of 16 and coming up just two wins shy of All-American status. Penn conclu
