Iowa State has added a new recruit to the class of 2021, Jack Gaukel.
Gaukel is a three-time Iowa High School State semi-finalist.
He has finished as runner up in the three state tournaments he’s been to.
In his junior year at Sergeant Bluff-Luton wrestling in the 152-pound weight class, Gaukel had a 53-2 record and finished second in the state tournament, losing in the state final to West Liberty’s Will Esmoil 3-2.
He also only had two losses in his sophomore season, finishing 50-2 and second in the state tournament, losing the 132 state final in a sudden 3-1 victory for Clear Lake’s Eric Faught.
Gauckel had a 44-8 record in his freshman year and lost to Albia’s Aden Reeves by pinfall in the first period in the 120 state final.
