Shawref Thomas '25 Recruiting Profile

Wrestling has played an important role in my life. It has taught me to be physically and mentally tough and work harder in every aspect of my life. Wrestling demands discipline and through perseverance and strong work ethics, I’m able to get right back up when knocked down, analyze the problem, and attack at 110% until I succeed. In my matches I give it my all and don’t hold back. When I lose matches I like to go back and look at what I could have done better which has helped me tremendously throughout the wrestling season. I feel that my personal and academic success is a translation of the principles I have learned in wrestling. My plan is to attend college, study, and continue wrestling.
