Cyclone Wrestling Roster Bolstered by All-American Transfer

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State wrestling coach Kevin Jackson is adding immediate experience to his Cyclone lineup with the announcement that former All-American and three-time NCAA qualifier Chris Drouin is transferring to Iowa State for his senior campaign in 2010-11.

“Anytime you add an All-American to your team it is going to make you stronger,” Jackson said. “Chris was an All-American two years ago, but did not reach his goals this year with a new coaching staff. I have known Chris for a few years and have had a chance to get to know and coach him when I was with the Sunkist Wrestling Club. I think he adds a positive attitude and he brings the experience of what it takes to become an All-American. Anytime you add someone like that to the program it is exciting and can only help us get better and accomplish our goals.”

from the link it looks like he's in the same boat as Anderson on the bball team, he's graduating this summer and enrolling in grad school, so he doesn't have to sit out a year.

Welcome aboard to Chris and good luck as a Cyclone.

Welcome to ISU!

Wonder if he wants to hang around to train after he is done too.

Good news, an experienced NCAA championship wrestler added to the roster :biggrin:

Wrestling is different. I think that he can transfer to a school and wrestle right away if he is released from his scholarship.

Wow. That is awesome. Nice get!

Technically I believe it is actually Football and Basketball (men only?) that are different. I'm pretty sure you can can participate in everything else right away if your previous school releases you from your scholarship. If they don't release you then you have to sit out a year.

chris, welcome to cyclone country.we wish you the best in bringing home a national championship in your particular weight class.you will have a great coach for whom you will be wrestling under.coach jackson believes in makiing the iowa state wrestling program better than the previous coach that headed to penn state.if you fellas wrestle penn state,i hope you beat them like 36-0 or a similar score.again welcome to cyclone country and we r happy you chose the cyclones to finish your wrestling career.

I looked it up and Drouin beat Dalton Jensen 10-1 when ISU-ASU wrestled in a dual in Tempe this past February. Jensen was ranked #10 and Drouin was #18 at the time.

Him and Gallick would hopefully be 141 and 149. That will help with our middle weights.

Isn't Gallick gone?

You're right. Jensen is going to have to step up big if Drouin can't stay at 141. Otherwise Weatherman needs to be an impact freshman.
