Top-Ranked Harvey Ludington Commits to Iowa Wrestling – FloWrestling

Iowa made a big addition to a formidable lineup of future upperweights on Saturday when Harvey Ludington announced his commitment to the Hawkeyes.

The nation’s top-ranked 190-pounder recently re-opened his recruitment after previously committing to Arizona State in August of 2023. Before making his pledge to the Hawkeyes, Ludington also considered North Carolina, North Carolina State and Oklahoma. He had been the last uncommitted top-30 prospect on the 2025 Big Board.

In Ludington, the Hawkeyes are getting an athletic and skilled big guy who won a New Jersey state title as a freshman at 175 pounds. He captured his second state title as a junior and followed that up by rolling through his Junior freestyle bracket this past summer in Fargo.

Ludington is ranked #14 on the 2025 Big Board. He’s the second blue-chip recruit from New Jersey to join Iowa’s 2025 recruiting class. Last month, the Hawkeyes signed Blair Academy’s Leo Deluca, the #8 prospect on the 2025 Big Board.

With the Hawkeyes, Ludington could become another lineup pillar in a powerful row of upperweights, with former prized recruits Gabe Arnold, Angelo Ferrari and Ben Kueter already on campus at Iowa.
