Four-time New Jersey state champion Andrew Campolattano is planning to continue his academic and wrestling careers at Hofstra University, according to a wrestling source.
The move is pending a review of academic records. Campolattano also is looking to regain eligibility from this past semester at Ohio State University, where he had been a student/athlete until taking a leave of absence earlier this year.
The former Bound Brook High School star recently made headlines when he faced felony drug trafficking charges that have since been dropped. It was reported that the 21-year-old Campolattano was issued a ticket on March 13 relating to an OSU campus roundup for trying to sell 15 oxycodone tablets for $410.
Campolattano left the wrestling program and withdrew from school in late April, relocating to Florida where his brother, Michael Campolattano, resides in Orlando.
Campolattano became only the second wrestler to win four New Jersey high school championships in 2011, when he pinned Cherokee's Mike Zeuli in 47 seconds for the 215-pound title. Campolattano, also named the tournament's Outstanding Wrestler his senior season, won his first three titles at 189 pounds and finished with a career mark of 178-1. Delbarton's Mike Grey was the first to win four state crowns (2003-06).
In college, Campolattano started the last two seasons at 197 pounds for Ohio State, posting a combined record of 40-26 while twice qualifying for the NCAA Division I championships.
