Hussein Alobaidi '24 Recruiting Profile

I love wrestling. It’s a simple as that. I want to take my athletic career to the next level and a collegiate athlete. I’m a student of the game, and I want to learn from the best. My aspirations are to be a national champion and one day World/Olympic gold medalist in wrestling. I always stay loyal to my team and make sure to set a good example on how a student athlete is supposed to act. Something that separates me from other athletes is my desire to learn from my mistakes and my ability to never give up, the loser and the winner both lose, it’s just that the winner gets back up and keeps fighting. My academics have always been an important part of my life, my parents immigrated from Iraq to America so they could give my sister and I a better life, and I want to show them that their efforts were not in vain so I make sure to give it 110 percent on the mat, and in the books. Wrestling is an amazing sport and I would love to continue wrestling in college.
