2017 Highlights 
2017 HighlightsPersonal Statement
My goals for college wrestling are very simple, I want to get the best education I can while being put in the best position possible to compete for a National Championship. What sets me apart from other potential wrestlers is my commitment to the classroom and my determination on the mat. Aside from what every other wrestler probably says, I honestly as a wrestler have much to still improve on to surpass my current achievements on the state level. I can say with no ounce of doubt in me that I have the will to get better every single day and believe that I can become one of the best wrestlers in the nation with the help of my parents, family, current coaches and my coaches at the collegiate level. I am very self-aware and very coach-able as a long time multi-sport athlete and 6x National Champion in AAU Track and Field. I appreciate your time and hope to hear from you.
