Alumni Spotlight: Eleazar DeLuca Inspires Next Generation of Wrestlers

[Tango Two]

The 2017-18 Rutgers wrestling season was filled with plenty of memorable moments, as the Scarlet Knights hosted Big Ten bluebloods Iowa, Ohio State and Penn State at the Rutgers Athletic Center that winter. Six qualifiers made their way to nationals that year, with Nick Suriano becoming the program’s first NCAA finalist with his appearance against Spencer Lee for the 125-pound title.

But the loudest the RAC erupted two seasons ago came courtesy of Eleazar DeLuca, who muscled a comeback for the ages during RU’s dual with the No. 2 Buckeyes on Jan. 7, 2018 in front of 5,109 fans.
