For my Iowa Wrestling Fan Blog and Podcast I will be following all of the incoming Iowa Wrestling recruits this season. First up is Abe Assad of Glenbard North High School (Carol Stream, IL). Entering his senior season, Assad is ranked #2 in the country and #1 in Illinois at 182 lbs.  Assad looked very good in winning the Super 32 last month. Super 32 is the toughest folkstyle tournament in the country.

Assad gave a verbal commitment to the University of Iowa for the Recruiting Class of 2019 on August 7. Assad won a Bronze at 86 kg/176 lbs. at the Cadet World Freestyle Championships this summer in Zagreb, Croatia and won a state title at 170 lbs. last season.

Assad should face some good competition at The Dvorak (Dec 22-23), The Clash (Jan 4-5) and Mega Duals (Jan 12). Assad will begin his season at the Fulk Quad tonight at 5 PM.  Glenbard North is ranked #7 in 3A by Illinois Matman.  Illinois high school wrestling is very, very tough.  Especially 3A.

I am publishing the schedule of all of the incoming Iowa Wrestling recruits because I know that fans will go out of their way to watch an incoming Hawkeye wrestler.  Iowa Wrestling has the most dominating fan base in wrestling and in any sport in the country and I know that our fans will travel to watch our incoming recruits.

I will have a preview and schedule for all of our incoming recruits.

It is great to be an Iowa Wrestling fan.

Go Hawks!
