Below is a list of the wrestlers who are committed to a DI Iowa wrestling program. The wrestlers are separated by school (Iowa, UNI, and ISU) and by state in which their tournament is held. I have also included national rankings from Intermat. If not nationally ranked the “*” denotes IA Wrestle’s high school rankings. Taylor Lujan won his 4th GA state title, and there was a lot of positives that came out of the Iowa and Illinois tournaments (among others). Paden Moore was able to keep the UNI recruiting class perfect with his state title in Minnesota, and Markus Simmons added a title to wrap up the ISU recruits to be the fourth recruit to win a title.

With UNI and ISU recruits finished, the attention will now shift focus to the Iowa recruits, and boy do they have some heavy hitters. This weekend will feature Iowa’s highest ranked 2015 senior – Mike Kemerer, who will be gunning for a Pennsylvania title in a bracket which features four nationally ranked wrestlers. Kaleb Young will also be in a brutal weight class, which includes two top 25 ranked seniors.

Justin Mejia will look to win his second consecutive title out west in California. Only a handful of California freshmen have won a state title, and each title he adds to his resume will push him further and further up the all-time greats from the state.
