The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga has at least four wrestlers ready to sign scholarship papers when the early signing period opens at 8 a.m. on Nov. 11.
The group includes Baylor's Trey Stavrum and Cole Hayes, Cookeville's Joe Proctor and Cordova's Cullen King.
Although NCAA rules preclude comments from coaches before recruits have signed and returned scholarships, new Mocs coach Heath Eslinger made it clear that he is committed to in-state and regional wrestlers.
Three of the four early commitments were 2009 state-tournament medalists. King finished fourth at 119 pounds, Stavrum placed third at 135 and Proctor was the 160-pound champion.
