Former Northern Iowa wrestler Drew Bennett announces plans to transfer to Iowa wrestling program

It took two months for Drew Bennett to find a new home, and he'll be driving south down Interstate 380 for the next steps in his collegiate wrestling career.

Bennett, a Fort Dodge native, announced on Saturday his plans to transfer from Northern Iowa to the Iowa wrestling program. The 141-pounder joins the Hawkeyes with three years of eligibility remaining.

"I am excited to announce that I will be transferring to the University of Iowa," Bennett wrote in a tweet, announcing his decision. "Go Hawks!"

Bennett, a 2018 state champ for the Dodgers, originally committed to Northern Iowa before his senior high school season.
