Keegan Moore qualified for the NCAAs at 184 pounds (Photo/Mark Beshey, The Guillotine)The University of Northern Iowa wrestling program is getting "more" of the wrestling Moore family, as Keegan Moore is transferring from the Oklahoma State Cowboys to the UNI Panthers, IAwrestle.com reported Monday.
With the move, the 184-pound Keegan Moore is following in the footsteps of his brothers who have wrestled for coach Doug Schwab at the Cedar Falls-based school. Paden Moore is currently wrestling for the Panthers at 157 pounds, while oldest brother Cooper was a three-year starter at 165 pounds before injuries cut his career short.
Even though Keegan Moore is transferring between schools within the Big 12 Conference -- which would normally mean having to sit out an entire season -- he will be immediately eligible to wrestle this fall, according to IAwrestle.com.
The question is ... Where will Moore fit into's UNI's lineup?
Northern Iowa returns all 10 of its starters for the 2018-19 season ... including Drew Foster, an NCAA All-American at 184. Only time will tell as to where Keegan Moore lands in the Panther lineup.
Although born in Ada, Okla., Keegan Moore made a name for himself on the mat in Minnesota, where he was a three-time state champ for Jackson County Central High School, compiling a 237-28 record for coach Randy Baker. In addition, Keegan Moore was a five-time Asics national champion and a Fargo Triple Crown winner, and competed with the Minnesota Storm for three seasons.
