UNI Wrestler Cory Land Poised for Breakout Season
Anytime Cory Land gets brought up around the Northern Iowa wrestling program,the same thing is said about him.
“Oh man, that dude can wrestle,” Northern Iowa head coach Doug Schwab said with a laugh.”Dynamic offense, can wrestle every position.”
A four-time Alabama state champion with a 203-0 record,a three-time age-group United States World team member and U17 World silver medalist,Land’s accolades speak for themselves.His style gets fans’ heart rates pumping, willing to put his body in any position during a match with relentless pace and attacks to keep opponents on their toes.
UNI teammate Wyatt Voelker didn’t mince words when discussing the 141-pounder.He believes Land is the most talented wrestler on the team.
The only issue for Land? Injuries have derailed the start of his college career. Though, there’s reason to believe this is the year for Land to show everyone what he is capable of.
