Ian Parker has been the steady, dependable winner for the Iowa State Cyclones this year, surging to a 19-2 record with four ranked wins on the season. His most recent victories, a 4-3 decision over No. 13 Dom Demas and a 6-3 decision over No. 15 Kaid Brock, earned him Big 12 Wrestler of the Week honors. Though Parker still has a big slate of top-ranked matchups ahead of him, a two-loss record heading into February is not a bad place for sophomore to be right now.

A former 133 pounder, Parker has excelled at 141, a more natural weight for the redshirt sophomore. He remains undefeated in duals, with his next test coming against No. 14 Matt Findlay of Utah Valley on February 3. Parker finished last season with nine losses and a fifth place finish at the Big 12 tournament, a solid performance but not enough to qualify him for the NCAA championship. Ranked No. 11 on Intermat as of January 28, Parker could be in contention for not just a ticket to the Pittsburgh but a chance to put himself on the podium.
