"We are committed to helping Kevin build and sustain a nationally prominent program and we are excited about the prospects for the future."
Senior Kyven Gadson was the star pupil under Jackson in 2015 as he compiled a 30-1 record and captured both Big 12 and NCAA Championships at 197 pounds. Gadson earned bonus point victories in four of his five wins on the way to becoming the 69th NCAA Champion in school history.
Jackson, a 1992 Olympic Gold medalist, has led the Cyclone program for six seasons. During that time, he has coached four national champions and one Olympic Gold Medalist (Jake Varner) at ISU.
