Iowa Wrestling Angelo Ferrari Makes Parents AJ And Adriana Proud With Win Over Dustin Plott

A woman filed for an emergency protective order against AJ, alleging he sexually assaulted her.

Angelo Ferrari celebrated with his parents after winning his third high school state wrestling title in Cypress in 2024.

Iowa’s wrestler Angelo Ferrari won for the fifth time straight over Oklahoma State’s Dustin Plott.

Highlights

  • Angelo Ferrari secured a win against the Oklahoma State Dustin Plott on February 23, 2025.
  • Ferrari was born to his father, AJ, and his mother, Adriana Ferrari.
  • His brother AJ Ferrari Jr was charged with felony sexual battery in Payne County District Court.

The true freshman Angelo Ferrari faced No. 3 Dustin Plott from Oklahoma State University (OSU) in the 184-pound wrestling match for the Hawkeyes on Sunday night.

Plott scored an escape early in the second period. Ferrari responded with a takedown, maintaining a 3-2 lead as they headed into the third period with riding time in his favor.

Dustin received a stall call but flipped the riding time to his advantage, riding out Ferrari for the rest of the period.

Ferrari attempted to roll through Plott’s hold but could not score a takedown or reversal, which led to a sudden victory period.

In the sudden victory, the two started fighting by hand. Still, Ferrari launched an attack on Plott’s ankles, similar to his approach in the third period, and successfully executed a takedown.
