In the 1980s, Iowa State’s wrestling program had the luxury of Nate Carr’s talent, which earned him his three NCAA Championships.

Now, Kevin Dresser will coach the next generation at Iowa State: David Carr.

Carr is a 152-pound senior from Massillon, Ohio. The latest commit has compiled an impressive record in his three high school seasons.

The 152-pounder has snagged three state championships in Ohio, garnering him a No. 5 pound-for-pound national ranking, according to flowrestling.org.

Before choosing the Cyclones, the highly-touted recruit trimmed his school choices to Ohio State, Cornell, Oklahoma State, Iowa State and Nebraska.

Carr is projected to wrestle at 165 pounds or 174 pounds at the collegiate level.
