Alexander McGaffey '25 Recruiting Profile

I am currently a captain for Pleasantville High School, NY. I have the drive to finish what i have started no matter the difficulty. I strive to make the most out of every moment and to absorb as much information as possible. I am focused and learned to motivate myself beyond what i thought i was capable of. I take pride in my wrestling and wish to learn as much as i can about it with the time i have left in school.

My father has inspired me to go into political science and economics as well as to push myself as much as i can. I became interested in wrestling right before covid but was limited to my rug at home due to the lockdown. Wrestling has taught me that anyone is capable of being great and that dreams truly can be reached. I plan on finishing my senior year with strait 100s across the board while also going to states for my school. Wrestling has taken me through many obstacles. Whether it be cutting, or a really challenging match, i now know that as long as you push, you always come out stronger. One thing that makes me stand out is my unique ability to learn a move immediately. I wish everyone else in the recruiting process good luck and for all coaches to have a good season.
