The No. 22 overall recruit in the Class of 2017 was granted a release from his National Letter of Intent by the Illini, and has now committed to enroll at the University of Iowa for the fall semester.
Mejia will join four other top 100 recruits as part of the Hawkeyes' 2017-18 roster. Those include No. 1 Spencer Lee (Franklin Regional, Pa.), No. 7 Jacob Warner (Washington, Ill.), No. 30 Max Murin (Central Cambria, Pa.), and No. 75 Aaron Costello (Western Dubuque, Iowa). He projects to compete as a 125/133 in college.
