Darrell Keller
Darrell Keller, Oklahoma State 142-pounder who won Outstanding Wrestler honors in the 1971 championships by defeating 1970 winner, Larry Owings of Washington, in the finals. Darrell and twin brother Dwayne, himself a former recipient, were named "Sportsmen of the Month" for March 1971 by the Daily Oklahoman, as they led OSU to the team championship. Plagued by injuries his senior season, Darrell had wrestled only ten matches (two losses by default) prior to the competition at Auburn. The Kennewick, Washington, native was national junior college champion in 1967 at 130 pounds while attending Columbia Basin CC in Pasco, Washington, and had won the collegiate 134-pound title in 1970.
