AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State men's wrestling program and head coach Brent Metcalf announced the addition of seven prep wrestlers Thursday, his first recruiting class at the helm of the program. Joe Constable, Max Dahbolt, Austin Ellis, Vinnie Gutierrez, Wyatt Lewis, Jimmy Mastny and Roman Stewart all put pen to paper and officially became Cyclones on National Signing Day.
"I'm really excited about this group of future Cyclones signing today," head coach Brent Metcalf said. "There's some high-end potential in this recruiting class and all seven of these guys will bring something different to our room. They're fierce competitors when they step on the mat, but more importantly, they're great people off the mat. We're excited to welcome them to Cyclone Nation and get to work."
The Cyclones inked six Top-125 Big Boarders according to MatScouts – No. 5 Jimmy Mastny, No. 36 Max Dhabolt, No. 43 Austin Ellis, No. 90 Roman Stewart, No. 95 Wyatt Lewis and No. 125 Vinnie Gutierrez.
