Matthew Smith '24 Recruiting Profile

I love wrestling.  I joined Sophomore year because I needed to lose weight.  It evolved into something that I do every single day.  I have a passion and drive for this sport you will rarely find somewhere else.  I went from 235 to 150 in the span of 3 years just so I could be good at wrestling.  I have had hot starts to both my seasons then got injured.  My Sophomore year I was 5-0 and then partially tore my tommy john tendon.  Then Junior year I broke my collarbone in the first period of a match, still finished it.  What sets me apart from other kids is I was at every single practice without missing.  I would schedule rehab around it, work on schoolwork at home and rescheduled many other important things to be able to support my team even when I was injured.  You wont find anyone who cares for for their team and the sport than me.  I hope you consider following my senior season that is bound to turn you heads.  Thank you for reading coach!
