Over the next two seasons as a full time starters, McDermott would end up an overall record of 31-19 and finished eighth in the Big Ten this past year along with qualifying for the NCAA Tournament.
The Iowa native is the first player to enter the portal for the Scarlet Knights this offseason and will have one year of eligibility plus a redshirt remaining to wrestler elsewhere.
