University of Minnesota wrestling recruit Jake Deitchler contacted head wrestling coach J Robinson Tuesday afternoon to inform the program that he would not attend the University this fall.
“It’s unfortunate that [Jake] has decided not to honor his commitment,” Robinson said. “We’re hopeful that upon returning home, Jake will consider following through with his National Letter of Intent and will choose to wrestle for the Gophers. The invitation to attend the U’ remains open.”
Deitchler finished 12th in the 66 kg./145.5 lb. division at the Olympic Greco-Roman wrestling competition last week.
