West Delaware wrestler Wyatt Voelker, a state and national champ, commits to Northern Iowa

Wyatt Voelker had three things to do on Tuesday.

First, eat breakfast at iHop.

Second, watch the West Delaware volleyball team win its quarterfinal match against Unity Christian in Cedar Rapids (they did, three sets to one).

Third, announce his college commitment — to the Northern Iowa wrestling program.

Yes, Voelker, West Delaware’s star senior wrestler, told the Des Moines Register that he is now a member of the Panther Train. He picked Northern Iowa over Iowa State, Iowa and North Carolina, among others. He projects at 197 pounds.

“I’m fired up,” Voelker said in an interview with the Register Tuesday morning.
