Perry seniors Sam White and Nick Heflin will continue their academic and wrestling careers at Big Ten colleges, Panthers coach Brent McBurney said.
White and Heflin each won a state title this past Saturday and helped Perry finish second as a team in the Division I team standings.
White, a University of Illinois recruit, finished the season with a state title at 125 pounds and a 41-1 record. He also won a state title at 103 pounds as a sophomore and was a state runner-up at 112 as a junior.
Heflin, an Ohio State University recruit, finished the season with a state title at 171 pounds and a 42-2 record. He was a state runner-up at 152 as a junior.
“I think they will be successful in college,” McBurney said. “Their style of wrestling is sound and will help them compete in the Big Ten.”
