Looks to be a 184 lber. Provides a little added depth at a need weight.

“Iowa State gives me a great opportunity academically with one of the best engineering programs in the country. Add that to the opportunity to be a part of this program with some of the best coaches in the nation sold me on Iowa State.” – McDowell stated.

This is great

By all accounts a high character kid.

Hopefully some untapped potential!

 

[Bobber]

Looks to be a worker. Some nice positive news for the program.

If we return to national prominence it will be in part because we bring in guys like this that pay their dues for 2-3 years and are developed to the point where they stand on the podium when they're juniors and seniors ie Stewart Carter, Jason Nurre etc.

You can't have blue chippers at every weight unless you're Penn State.

From what I saw of him, he's a really good athlete. Looks like he's good at football and baseball too. Seems like the type of kid that could really improve with the right coaching, since I don't think he's done much offseason wrestling or really ever solely focused on wrestling. Never know with kids like this, but these type of commits can be part of a solid foundation of a good program. Welcome Alec!
