Rochester graduate Lance Ingold is transferring to the Big Ten Conference.
The defensive end committed to University of Iowa on Thursday, Jan. 8 after two seasons in the Mid-American Conference at Northern Illinois University. He recorded 17 tackles with 1 ½ sacks and a forced fumble this past season as a redshirt freshman.
Against Mississippi State, he had a personal best seven tackles. He appeared in two games in 2024.
Ingold, 6-6 and 255 pounds, helped the Rockets win the Class 4A state title in 2023 and was named to The State Journal-Register’s all-area football team as a senior defensive end and tight end.
Iowa finished 9-4 this past season after winning the Reliaquest Bowl against Vanderbilt.
