Brayden Ostvik '22 Recruiting Profile

I have been on the wrestling mat since I was 8 years old.  Before my first match was over I knew I wanted to wrestle  at the collegiate level.  I played other sports and continued them into my high school career, however nothing had me captivated the way wrestling did.  I learned at a young age what my strengths and weaknesses were on and off the mat and decided I wasn't going to make excuses for myself, but work hard to become the best wrestler, athlete, and student I could be.  On the mat I am mentally tough, driven and have quick footwork.  I have been told to always remain coachable so I have.  When I walk out onto that mat I am there to work hard, stay mentally tough, and win.

Off the mat I take multiple Honors and AP classes, to maintain my 3.85 GPA I have had to study hard, put in long hours and sometimes say no to going out with friends.  In my spare time I volunteer coach for our youth Mat Club, and also on the holidays go and feed the homeless at our local shelters.

Ultimately I want to attend a college where I can push myself not only on the mat, but in the classroom as well.  Although I do have a handful of college favorites I am open to many options and want to find the right college match for me at the highest level of competition possible. I want to become a great role model to my peers, make my parents proud, and also make myself proud!
