Iowa wrestling head coach Tom Brands announced on Tuesday that Austin DeSanto has been suspended for the upcoming home dual against Maryland on February 8. DeSanto, a sophomore, is 14-1 on the season and is ranked #3 at 133lbs on Flowrestling.
To properly understand the suspension and the events that led up to it, please check out our Iowa vs Nebraska recap. But for a quick summary, things got a bit chippy during the tightly contested dual. Iowa had a 16-13 lead going into the final and decisive match of the night and of course it had to be DeSanto’s match.
