Two more high school wrestling standouts recently signed a National Letter of Intent, indicating they will enroll at South Dakota State University in the fall and compete for the Jackrabbit wrestling program.
The signees are:
• Avery Allen, 149 pounds, Bozeman, Montana.
• Parker Janssen, 141 pounds, St. Michael, Minnesota.
Allen is in search of his fourth consecutive individual state title at Bozeman High School and holds a 140-2 record at the prep level. He won his first Class AA state championship at 132 pounds as a freshman, followed by a title at 145 pounds as a sophomore. Allen bumped up to 152 pounds as a junior and completed a 33-0 season with his third championship.
In addition, Allen was an all-state honoree in football this past fall as a cornerback and wide receiver.
Janssen, who is currently ranked second at 138 pounds in Minnesota’s Class AAA, is a two-time state qualifier for St. Michael-Albertville High School. He went a combined 79-12 in placing fourth at 113 pounds as a freshman (45-10 record) and finishing as runner-up in the 126-pound weight class his sophomore season (34-2 record).
Allen and Janssen join a 2023 Jackrabbit recruiting class that includes six other multi-time high school state champions. South Dakota State is ranked 17th in the latest National Wrestling Coaches Association Poll and has posted an 11-2 dual record so far this season, including a 5-0 mark in the Big 12 Conference.
