Drexel transfer Austin DeSanto headed to Iowa | What it means for Rutgers

College wrestling's top free agent is headed to Iowa City.

Iowa has edged out Rutgers and other national powers for Drexel's Austin DeSanto. The 2018 NCAA Round of 12 finisher told TrackWrestling on Sunday he will join the Hawkeyes after a high-profile transfer process, giving Terry and Tom Brands another aggressive hammer to fortify their lineup down low.

Rutgers was close: The Scarlet Knights were a serious suitor for DeSanto, a 2017 Pennsylvania AAA state champion at Exeter High in Reading. They likely were the runner-up in his process.
