Stephen Buchanan announced that he is joining the Hawkeye Wrestling Club and will be competing at 92 kg/202 lbs.
Buchanan recently won the 197 lbs. title at the NCAA Championships.
For the season Buchanan was 26-1 with four pins, nine tech falls and five major decisions.
At the awards banquet Buchanan was named for the Mike Howard Award as Most Valuable and for the Most Pins.
Last week it was announced that Buchanan had been selected as an NWCA Scholar All American.
Originally from Loyal, Wisconsin, Buchanan competed for Wyoming and Oklahoma before transferring to Iowa for his final season.
Buchanan was a four-time All American and a five-time NCAA Qualifier.
This is a great addition to the HWC to keep Buchanan in the program and competing in International competition while influencing the next generation of Iowa wrestlers.
