True Freshman Gabe Arnold Bumps Up & TAKES OUT All-American Will Feldkamp

Iowa true freshman Gabe Arnold has been making a name for himself. A week ago he took out Oregon State All-American Travis Wittlake, but this week, Arnold embraced a new challenge.

According to his on-air interview, Arnold found out yesterday that coach Tom Brands needed him at 184 lbs instead of 174 lbs. Not only would Arnold be bumping up a weight class, he'd be taking on a returning All-American in Iowa State's #6 Will Feldkamp.

Arnold successfully made the move up in weight and successfully downed his second All-American opponent in as many weeks. It was a single-takedown victory for Arnold that gave the Hawkeyes the 15-10 lead in the CyHawk dual with just two bouts remaining.
