Jose Moreno Cruz '23 Recruiting Profile

Hello coaches! My name is Jose Moreno Cruz, I am 6'1, 240 pounds. I began wrestling last year during the COVID pandemic. While this was late in my life that I first began to wrestle, I have greatly improved and defied many expectations that had been previously placed on me. For much of my life people have doubted me and my ability to accomplish the goals that I set my mind to. However what I believe is truly my greatest asset is that I will absolutely do whatever is possible in order to improve and become a better wrestler. This has included waking up early in order to wake up my mom or step dad to drive me to morning practices so that I never missed any practices. To biking to my local gym everyday after school in order to get myself into the best possible shape that I can for wrestling. Were any college to give me the opportunity to allow me to try out or attend their school, not only would I have defied expectations put on me by people surrounding me, but I would be one of the first in my family to go to college. I would also be the very first in my family to attend a college using sports as a gateway.
