    NCAA qualifier Everard to transfer to UNI

    CEDAR FALLS, Iowa -- UNI added an NCAA qualifier to its roster today with the transfer of J.J. Everard.

    The South Dakota State heavyweight will compete as a Panther this winter. Everard pulled off an upset and avenged two losses at the Western Wrestling Conference Championships to earn an automatic bid for the NCAA national tournament.

    Everard opened WWC with a 3-2 overtime win against Utah Valley's Jordan Karst. Then he won back-to-back 5-3 decisions over Tanner Harms (Wyoming) and Evan Knutson (North Dakota State) – both of whom had previously defeated Everard last season. He finished the season 20-14 overall.

    The senior is from Etiwanda, California. He will be among a strong class of newcomers that earned a No. 4 national ranking from Intermat.

    UNI kicks off its home season against MAC opponent Missouri Nov. 28. The Panthers will travel to Albany, New York, for their first competition. The Journeymen Duals pits UNI against Oregon State, Rutgers and Hofstra Nov. 15.
