Pat Downey is headed back to Iowa, and this time he’ll be wearing a Black and Gold singlet.
The former Cyclone wrestler is reportedly en route to Iowa City to begin his career as a Hawkeye wrestler as a graduate transfer. He’s expected to begin training with the Hawkeye Wrestling Club immediately, while taking online classes through Iowa State to earn his degree.
Downey was ousted from the Cyclone program a year ago for “violating team rules.” He’s been an outspoken figure in wrestling, and has a pretty ... interesting Twitter. He told Andy Hamilton that tweeting won’t be a problem for him at Iowa.
