Rocky Jordan of Graham commits to Ohio State Buckeyes wrestling

Ohio State University wrestling coach Tom Ryan made it three-for-three with the Jordan family this week.

Rocky Jordan, Graham’s two-time state champ, verbally committed to the Buckeyes after completing his visits – which included one to Big Ten rival Michigan.

Rocky will be the third Jordan brother to wrestle for the Buckeyes. In March, oldest brother Bo was NCAA runner-up while Micah earned All-American status for the Buckeyes. Bo will be a senior this season, Micah a junior.

Rocky claimed his state title in March in dominating fashion at 152, outscoring his opponents 46-0. He is 124-9 in his career at Graham.

Jordan’s cousins – Isaac and Ben – wrestled at Wisconsin with Isaac earning All-American honors all four years.

The Jordan family, Graham coach Jeff Jordan (Bo, Micah and Rocky) and U.S. Rep Jim Jordan, R-Urbana (Ben and Isaac), have combined to win 24 state titles and 14 All-American honors. Jim won two national titles at Wisconsin.
