Sam Stoll competing at the NCAAs (Photo/Mark Beshey, The Guillotine)University of Iowa heavyweight Sam Stoll will be suspended for the Hawkeyes' first out-of-town dual meet, head coach Tom Brands announced at the Grid Club in Davenport, Iowa Monday afternoon.
Iowa will be traveling to Kent State University, a Mid-American Conference school in northeast Ohio, for a dual meet on Friday, Nov. 9
"Sam Stoll is ready to roll," Brands said. "He's moving forward... He will be suspended that first date when we go to Kent State."
As InterMat reported, Stoll was involved in a gun incident in mid-June. The 2018 NCAA All-American originally told Iowa City police that he had accidently shot himself in the knee at his home on June 19. However, two weeks later, the Iowa senior redacted his original statement to police, saying he had played a prank on a friend at his friend's home.
Stoll had surgery on the knee that day, and was released from the hospital the following day. He was later charged with filing a "false report to a public entity" -- namely, the Iowa City Police.
At that time, head coach Tom Brands issued the following statement: "As I shared previously, Sam Stoll's health was our number one concern and he is doing well. I am disappointed in his actions related to this incident, as they do not reflect our values. Regarding discipline, we will follow all University and Athletics Department code of conduct policies."
