Riggins transferring to ISU

Saw this on the news a little bit ago, searched to make sure this wasn't a new thread. Riggins transferring to ISU to compete for the 165lb spot.

He was probably 3rd in line at 165, 174, and 184 for Iowa this year depending on where he certified at. I can't blame him for looking elsewhere to try to get more mat time. Best of luck unless he is wrestling a Hawk going forward. He had a pretty tall task last year wrestling up a couple weights, but stepped up for the team in duals.
 
Hope Riggins has a good year. You won't meet anyone who has anything negative to say about him. He's a respectful kid who gets good grades and works hard.
Riggins was thrown into a tough situation last year and represented himself very well; the results weren't there but it absolutely wasn't for lack of effort. Hoping for the best for him, and hoping he gets a chance to show what he has at a more natural weight.
