Bound Brook senior Andrew Campolattano has decided to continue his wrestling and academic careers at Ohio State University. The prized recruit made an official announcement on Monday at the high school.
Campolattano, a four-time New Jersey state champion, won the 215-pound crown in March to become only the second wrestler in state history to win four titles. Campolattano, who won his previous three championships at 189, reportedly chose Ohio State over Lehigh, Nebraska and Virginia Tech. He rescinded a verbal commitment for a football scholarship to Rutgers in January.
Campolattano captured Bound Brook's 18th state title in thrilling fashion, decking Cherokee's Mike Zeuli in 47 seconds in the final bout of the 2011 NJSIAA State Wrestling Championships at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. He received the Ringler Award as the tourney's outstanding wrestler.
Campolattano, who was 44-0 this season, finished his outstanding career with a 175-1 mark, as New Jersey's all-time victories leader. He had 116 pins, 10 technical falls, 12 majors, 17 forfeits and 20 decisions. He finished a perfect 16-0 in the state tournament with seven decisions, five falls, two technical falls, one injury default and one major decision. He also won four District 18 and four Region 5 titles.
