Darren McLeod '22 Recruiting Profile

I began wrestling when I was in second grade, the more I started to learn and compete the more I began to fall in love with the sport. In 2015 is when I became committed to the sport and had my breakthrough year.  To this day my passion for the sport keeps on growing.  Wrestling teaches you many lessons such as sportsmanship, being a team player and leader, discipline, and overcoming adversity. I am not only committed to the sport of wrestling, but I also am very committed to my academics and strive to be the best in my class, over my high school career I have maintained a 4.00 GPA.  In wrestling and academics, I am always trying to learn something new to gain more knowledge and become a better person and athlete.  Since I was little I've always wanted to compete at the collegiate level. I'm more hungry than ever after a unfortunate end to my Junior season contracting COVID the day before the state meet after taking first at regionals the week prior.  I'm always looking to step up my game in order to obtain these aspirations, and maybe you can help turn this vision into a reality.
