Blain Cascio '21 Recruiting Profile

In 2014, while I was in the sixth grade, is when I started my wrestling career.  My first two years of competing were very difficult and challenging to say the least.  My record was 1 win and 23 losses within that time period.  My wrestling coaches would always tell me that it was a 3 year commitment and that I needed to "Trust the Process".  In 2016, I enrolled at St. Pauls High School as an 8th grader and immediately started working with the wrestling team.  I believed in myself and my coaches and knew if I put the work in, good things would happen.  In the 2017/2018 season, as a freshman, I had the opportunity to wrestle 14 matches in the 138 pound weight class.  With that opportunity to wrestle on the varsity team , I won 7 matches.  In the 2018/2019 season as a sophomore, I placed 3rd in the Junior Varsity state tournament in the 152 pound weight class .  

Until this school year, (2019/2020), I have been a dual sport athlete, splitting my time playing football and wrestling.  I have made my decision to focus 100% of my time to the sport of wrestling.  Even though the beginning of my career was very trying and painful, I wouldn't have changed the results one bit.  Through the struggles, I learned valuable life lessons about perseverance, dedication, sacrifice and hard work.  I'm looking for a college and a coach that will help me attain my goals academically, as well as athletically.  I know I have what it takes to succeed on the mat and in life, and would love the opportunity to wrestle in your collegiate program.   

Sincerely,

Blain M. Cascio
