No. 12 Rutgers Wrestling added another piece to the puzzle today when they landed transfer Asa Garcia from the Hoosiers of Indiana University. Garcia went 21-6 (at 141lbs) while redshirting for the Hoosiers during the 2019-20 season and 2-0 (at 133lbs) during last year’s COVID-19 shortened campaign.
Garcia’s most notable win while at Indiana came last year when he took out Michigan’s Jack Medley, who is currently ranked No. 18 by Intermat at 125lbs, 11-6.
Garcia hails from Avon, Indiana where he was a three-time state champion while attending Avon High School. Indiana Coach Angel Escobedo described Garcia as “a student of the sport and a great leader for the Avon wrestling team,” when he signed with Indiana.
