Seven University of Iowa wrestlers have been named as 2022 National Wrestling Coaches Association Division I Scholar All-Americans.
Drake Ayala, Austin DeSanto, Kaleb Young, Alex Marinelli, Michael Kemerer, Jacob Warner and Tony Cassioppi represent the Hawkeyes as NWCA Scholar All-Americans.
To be eligible, student-athletes must have a 3.2 grade point average and have won 60 percent of their matches or maintain a 3.0 GPA while earning All-America honors.
Kemerer and Marinelli earned the distinction for a fifth time in their careers, Young earned his fourth, while Warner and Cassioppi are now three-time honorees.
Iowa has received 54 NWCA academic honors since Tom Brands was named head coach in 2006. The seven honorees are the second-most in a season in program history, trailing the eight honorees in 2020.
To have seven starters named for this honor is impressive.

Well done.
It is great to be an Iowa Wrestling fan.
Go Hawks!
