Go Hawks!

Last week the University of Iowa picked up another elite recruit when Samantha Sachs of Glendora, California announced that she committed to the Hawkeyes.

In the most recent National Girls High School Rankings Sachs is listed at #11 P4P(pound for pound) and #2 at 130.

Sachs joins Isabella Gonzales, also from California, in the Recruiting Class of 2025.

In the national Recruiting Class of 2025 Gonzales is #1 and Sachs is #5.

 

 

Sachs won a Junior National title in Fargo last summer at 130 and was a state runner-up in California.

Sachs won the 130 lbs. title at the Brian Keck Memorial Pre-Season Nationals in Des Moines, Iowa in October.

With the addition next season of Sachs and Gonzales there will be the eight wrestlers on the roster from California. Bringing in elite recruits from California will be a big factor to keep Iowa on top of the women’s college wrestling world.

As I have done with all of our incoming recruits for years on this blog I will add Sachs to my Friday blogs of upcoming weekend competitions and a follow up blog with results on my “Recruits in action” series.

It was great news for Hawk fans when elite recruit Harvey Ludington announced on Saturday that he had committed to the University of Iowa.

Ludington, from Brick, New Jersey(Brick Memorial HS), is the #1 rated 190 lbs. high school wrestler in the country.  Ludington is #1 at 190 by MatScouts and FloWrestling.

The #1 spot was earned from titles at Fargo at Junior Nationals with a tech fall in the finals as well as elite tournaments like Beast of the East and two New Jersey state titles.

Ludington had originally committed to Arizona State last December but recently opened up his recruiting options. 

 

 

In 2022 Ludington won a state title as a freshman at 175 and placed second at 175 as a sophomore in a one point match. Last season he won a state title at 190 with a 30-0 record. That is impressive for the level of competition and that New Jersey has only one state champion per weight.

As I have done with all of our incoming recruits for years on this blog I will add Ludington to my Friday blogs of upcoming weekend competitions and a follow up blog with results on my “Recruits in action” series.

Ludington had originally committed to Arizona State last December but recently opened up his recruiting options. 

This marks the second #1 ranked high school recruit in the country from New Jersey that Iowa has landed in the Class of 2025. Leo DeLuca of Morristown, New Jersey(Blair Academy) is #1 in the country at 120 lbs.

 

 

Iowa has made a statement in recruiting the heavier weights over the last three recruiting classes. The top recruit for Iowa in the Class of 2023 was Hwt Ben Kueter and in 2024 it was Angelo Ferrari at 184.

Looking ahead to the future Iowa Wrestling lineup:

174 – Gabe Arnold

184 – Angelo Ferrari

197 – Harvey Ludington

Hwt. – Ben Kueter

Hawk fans, that is a lineup we all really want to see.

As I have done with all of our incoming recruits for years on this blog I will add Ludington to my Friday blogs of upcoming weekend competitions and a follow up blog with results on my “Recruits in action” series.

Well done Iowa Wrestling.
