Rodriguez, the 2015 NJCAA national champion at 125 pounds, was the NJCAA Male Athlete of the Year at Iowa Lakes Community College. He also previously attended Oklahoma.
A native of Lansing, Michigan, Rodriguez was a three-time state champion at Lansing Everett High School. He set the state record for the largest margin of victory in a championship match (29-11).
"Freddie has won at every level in which he has wrestled," said Spates. "Being a multiple state and national champion, he will add a lot to our room. He also likes to work so we are expecting him to use his experience to be a leader on the team."
Rodriguez is slated to compete at 125 pounds and will likely sit out the rest of the 2015-16 season.
He is a projected psychology major.
