The Northern Iowa wrestling program has added another state champ to its 2020 recruiting class.
Evan Yant, a senior at Waverly-Shell Rock, announced his commitment to the Panthers on Thursday. He becomes the ninth member of Northern Iowa's incoming recruiting haul, and the fifth Iowa native. He projects at 157/165 pounds.
"I am proud to announce that I will be continuing my academic and wrestling career at the University of Northern Iowa," Yant wrote in an Instagram post announcing his decision. "GO PANTHERS!!"
Yant was a three-time state medalist for the Go-Hawks and won a Class 3A state title this past February at 152 pounds.
