OKLAHOMA CITY – Coleman Scott, an Olympic bronze medalist and former NCAA champion wrestler, was honored on the House floor by Reps. Ty Burns, R-Pawnee, and Steve Bashore, R-Miami, for his accomplishments on the mat and his ongoing commitment to growing the sport of wrestling in Oklahoma. 

Scott, a standout at Oklahoma State University and 2012 Olympic medalist, was recognized for a career that includes being a four-time NCAA All-American, a 2008 NCAA champion and a bronze medalist in freestyle wrestling at the London Games.

“Coleman Scott represents the best of Oklahoma – dedication, integrity and hard work,” the two representatives said in a joint statement. “He’s earned recognition on the world stage and continues to invest in young athletes here at home. The Farm, his new training facility in Stillwater, is just one example of how he’s helping prepare the next generation for success.”

“His impact goes far beyond his athletic achievements. He shows how sports can shape not just champions but leaders in their communities. His commitment to mentoring and coaching youth speaks volumes about the legacy he’s building – one of excellence both on and off the mat.”

Scott became a standout wrestler in High school, winning several titles and compiling a record of 156 wins and 12 losses before going to OSU.

After his collegiate career, Scott transitioned to freestyle wrestling and earned a spot on the 2012 U.S. Olympic team, taking home bronze in the 60 kg weight class. 

Today, Scott remains deeply involved in the sport through coaching, camps and his work at The Farm. He and his wife, Jessica, are raising their three children – Leighton, Stetson and Cash – while continuing to serve the wrestling community.
