The unanimous No. 1 wrestling recruit in the country for the Class of 2016 has committed to Penn State.

A senior and five-time state champion at Apple Valley (Minn.), Mark Hall announced his decision at a ceremony in the auditorium of his high school Wednesday afternoon, which is also national signing day.

Ranked as the nation's top recruit by both FloWrestling.com and IntermatWrestle.com, Hall selected the Nittany Lions over his four other finalists, which included Arizona State, Minnesota, Ohio State and Wisconsin. He made official visits to all five programs, including a trip to State College the weekend of Oct. 10-11.

"Going out to Penn State it just felt like a home to me," Hall said, live on FloWrestling. "One of the things that went into it was, of all the places that I'm visiting, I'm going to have to live here for 10, 15 years and maybe more than that if I end up coahcing at this school, and for me it was Penn State (where) I felt the most comfortable."

Hall is atop the national rankings at 170 pounds for his senior season, where he will go for his sixth state championship - a feat that has never been accomplished in Minnesota history.

A Cadet National Champion, Hall is also a dominant freestyle wrestler with Olympic aspirations. He has previously trained at the Olympic Training Center, and hopes to continue chasing those goals in State College.

"Coach Cael, Coach Casey, Coach Cody - I truly believe they'll help me win four national titles, and they'll help me be a world and an Olympic champion after that," Hall said.

Hall projects as a 165- or 174-pounder in college.

Hall is the fifth recruit in the Class of 2016 to announce for the Nittany Lions. He joins fellow top-10 recruits Nick Suriano of Bergen (N.J.) Catholic (125/133, who will sign his national letter of intent Thursday, and Mason Manville of Wyoming (Pa.) Seminary (157/165), in addition to Luke Gardner of Pottsville (Pa.) (141/149) and Gabriel Beyer of Leon (Fla.), a 285-pounder.
