Angel Escobedo will be returning to his alma mater to become the associate head coach at Indiana. That position became available when Nick Simmons left the program on April 8th.

Escobedo is one of the greatest wrestlers in Hoosier history, having been a four-time All American and 2008 national champ for the program in his home state. A four-time state champ for Griffith high school, he is coming from Ames, where he was the volunteer assistant for three years at Iowa State.

Along with his decorated college career, Escobedo brings senior level experience to the Crimson and Cream. He was fifth in the world at 55kg in 2013, as well as a Pan Am Games silver medal in 2015 at 57kg.

With a second child on the way in a couple weeks, Escobedo will be splitting time back and forth between Ames and Bloomington, but will be there full time by the fall.

Indiana also recently received news that they will be getting a new competition arena, which could come as early as next year.

Approved #IUVB and #IUWR will compete in a new arena as early as 2018. #GoIU https://t.co/v4PMv3RNvj
