Jacob McKnight '20 Recruiting Profile

When I was 5 years old, I heard an add on the radio for the youth wrestling team in my town. My parents and I decided I should try it out, and I instantly fell in love. I started off on a very local level and worked my way up and up until I was competing on the national level. It was shortly after I started I realized that this was my thing, the thing I wanted to do for as long as possible. I had tried other sports like baseball and football, however, they never really clicked like wrestling did. In wrestling it doesn't matter who you were or who you knew, all that mattered was how hard you worked. This is the reason I first liked wrestling, However it grew into a passion, or even an addiction. This is the reason I would like to continue my wrestling career into college, because it is more than just a sport to me. It is my passion and my whole life.
