Badgers wrestling: UW adds three recruits for 2016

Prep wrestlers Jacob Covaciu and twins Evan and Zander Wick have signed to compete for the University of Wisconsin starting next season.

“All three guys fit what we’re looking for,” UW coach Barry Davis said. “I think they're each a great addition to our program. The last three years have been good for us. The program is definitely moving forward in the right direction with the right people.”

Covaciu, from Merrillville, Indiana, was named a Folkstyle All-American and finished as the Indiana state runner-up at 138 pounds in 2014. He continued his success in 2015, finishing as the Indiana state champion at 145 pounds and was awarded Fargo Jr.
