IOWA WRESTLING RECRUITING: ABE ASSAD COMMITS TO HAWKEYES

Iowa Wrestling landed a big commitment late Monday night when Class of 2019 recruit Abe Assad announced he’d be joining the Hawkeyes via Twitter.

Many people have supported me along the way, and I’m excited to share that I’ll be staying in the black & gold. I’ve decided to peruse my academic and athletic goals at the University of Iowa. Thank you to my coaches, family, and friends for their support. #GoHawks #RTFU #GDN pic.twitter.com/jXSby9H0YC
