Incoming Iowa Wrestling recruit Leo DeLuca is ranked #1 in the country at 120 lbs. DeLuca is ranked #1 in the most recent rankings by both MatScouts and FloWrestling.
DeLuca is from Morristown, New Jersey and competes for national powerhouse Blair Academy. He is a member of the Iowa Wrestling Recruiting Class of 2025.
DeLuca won a Junior National title in 2023 at 120 lbs. and a Cadet National title at 113 in 2021.
He committed to Iowa on December 4, 2023 and is projected to compete at 125 for the Hawks.
Since the weight was changed to 57kg/125 lbs. in 2014 an Iowa Hawkeye has represented Team USA at 57kg in six of the eight World Championships and in all three Olympics. DeLuca is the next elite incoming recruit at that weight.
As I do for all of our incoming recruits I will continue to follow DeLuca in competition on this blog with a preview and follow up with results.
It is great to be an Iowa Wrestling fan.
Go Hawks!
