AMARILLO, Texas (KFDA) - Randall Raider wrestling star Mikey Ruiz signed his National Letter of Intent with the Oklahoma Sooners today, committing to the Division I program.

Why Oklahoma
The wrestler credited his teammates and coaches for his success and said the team atmosphere at Oklahoma influenced his decision to become a Sooner.
“I always wanted to wrestle with D1. I always wanted to be the best out of everybody, and that was just the next step. Finding the good coaches, a good school, and good teammates around me,” Ruiz said. “I saw OU and I liked OU, I loved it there.”
