LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – The Lock Haven University Division I men's wrestling team is welcoming the 2021 recruiting class. The team will welcome nine new additions, all of whom have either signed an NLI, or have been accepted and/or are enrolled at LHU.
 
The 2019-20 season ushered in new beginnings for LHU wrestling as Lock Haven officially opened its tenure in the Mid-American Conference (MAC). Back in February, the team wrestled in the 2021 MAC Championships, where Luke Werner led the way for the Bald Eagles placing fifth. The 2021-22 season will mark the teams third season of tenure in the MAC. The 2021 recruiting class will provide important depth for the Bald Eagles and help transform those new beginnings into new victories.
 
"We are excited to announce this incoming class of recruits," said Moore. "The depth of this class will create some great competition in the room and provide a strong base for the future of our program. We are confident that each of these guys will bring a strong work ethic and unique passion for Lock Haven wrestling. Our staff looks forward to helping them develop into successful, well rounded Division I student-athletes over the next four-five years. We are grateful to welcome each one of these young men into The Haven Family."
 
Adding to last year's impressive recruiting class, Lock Haven wrestling looks forward to continuing its trademark "Rise" and competing in full-season action in 2020-21 and beyond.
