He finished second at the 1997 Cadet World Trials and was named 1997 Cadet All-American. Kane is also a five-time California state freestyle/greco champion. He is projected to compete next season for the Wildcats at 165 pounds.
Head coach Tim Cysewski says, "I'm very pleased that these guys decided to come to Northwestern. They are great wrestlers and will give us depth at the lower and middle weight classes."
