He has won three state championships at 189 pounds, but has moved up to 215 this year.

  • Andrew ? Here?s wishing you the best, wherever you go. Stay healthy. Use your own head and your own inner guidance to resist the temptations that have derailed so many top athletes. Think about where you will be in 15 years, and look back from there to help you decide what you should be doing now. Never stop working, because in wrestling or football, there are always better guys out there, somewhere. Then when you?re done, you will have no regrets, and everyone will look up to you for the rest of your life. Godspeed.**** ? Rutgers fan
