Logan Cantrell '25 Recruiting Profile

Goals and Aspirations:

I would love to attend college in order to further my wrestling ability. MY goals are to either get a degree in marketing or exercise science. I am very passionate about grappling and once I complete college I want to open my own after school wrestling and jiu jitsu program so I can share my love of these sports with young people and help them further their goals! I believe I will be a life long practitioner of these disciplines and want to help grow them. 

Good Candidate: 

 I think I am a good fit on most teams due to my work ethic; I know most wrestlers are very hard workers but I try to help those around me by working as hard as I can and hopefully inspiring my team mates. I often try to help the people on my team who may be struggling  becaus eI know sometimes you just need some extra help to figure out a move or a sequence. 

What makes me different: 

What makes me different is the adversity I've had to overcome in my life and the values and empathy it has taught me. My mother left me early in my life, I had just turned 3 years old and I was raised primarily by my Dad. Additionally I struggled early on in school and was told I am a special needs student and I have a slight speech impediment. But these things taught me to be empathetic to others because you never know what they may be going through and to always work harder. I keep a good GPA and I make good grades because I learned that I can out work problems. I may have to stick with it longer than some people but if I just keep grinding I know I can do anything.
