    Weatherman, Weatherspoon moving down in weight

    With NCAA champion Kyven Gadson and two-time All-American Mike Moreno graduating, Iowa State will have some voids to fill in their lineup for the 2015-16 season. But according to Iowa State coach Kevin Jackson, there will be "contenders up and down the lineup" and a downward shift.

    Three-time NCAA qualifier Tanner Weatherman will be moving down to 165 pounds from 174 pounds, and two-time NCAA qualifier Lelund Weatherspoon will slide down to 174 pounds from 184 pounds. Marcus Harrington, Nathan Boston and Renaldo Rodriguez-Spencer could be new faces in the ISU lineup.

    "We've got some good wrestlers," Jackson said on this week's episode of On the Mat. "We lost some point-getters with Mike Moreno and Kyven Gadson, but we're filling the holes, with Marcus Harrington, who is going to step in and he's going to open some eyes right away. Tanner Weatherman is going down to 165, which gives him a great chance to become an All-American and be in the hunt. Lelund Weatherspoon down to 174, which allows him to wrestle his true weight class."

    Iowa State is coming off a 14th-place finish at the NCAAs. The Cyclones finished the season with a dual meet record of 11-2 and a No. 9 dual meet ranking by InterMat.

    "Look for Iowa State to stay in the hunt," said Jackson. "We're looking to do some special things."
