The Iowa Hawkeyes wrestling team will go into another year of tough conference action beginning on Jan. 12 against Wisconsin in Madison, Wisconsin

Iowa looks to win its 25th NCAA National Championship, and fifth under current head coach Tom Brands after finishing fifth at the 2024 NCAA Championships.

Ranked second in FloWrestling's preseason poll, Iowa has six returning All-Americans, much like Ohio State, but what separates them from the Buckeyes is that they have multiple high-quality transfers.

Kyle Parco (No. 4 at 149) and Jacori Teemer (No. 1 at 157, No. 15 in pound for pound) transferred to the Hawkeyes from Arizona State, Stephen Buchanan (No. 1 at 197, No. 17 in pound for pound) and Joey Cruz (125) from Oklahoma, and Michael Caliendo (No. 1 at 165) from North Dakota State. Other ranked Hawkeyes include Drake Ayala (No. 19 in pound for pound and No. 3 at 133), Gabe Arnold (No. 6 at 174), Nelson Brands (No. 5 at 184), and Ben Kueter (No. 11 at 285).

Iowa seeks its 38th conference title on March 8-9. 

Here is the full 2024-25 Iowa wrestling schedule.
