Ryan Mann '25 Recruiting Profile

Wrestling has played a monumental role in developing me into the person I am today. Since the age of 8, wrestling has built my character while teaching me how to work hard, learn from my losses, value my wins, be coachable, and know where I am weak or what I need to work on. The sport has grown to become a major part of who I am, and I am not planning on leaving it behind. 

I would be a strong addition to any program because of the good work ethic, morals, character, positive attitude, and leadership skills I bring to the table. I enjoy feedback and love hearing what advice coaches have. I also value punctuality and how hard you work during that period. I love being the first to practice even though I'm the last to leave. I think coaches should be in control of what role I play on their team, and I will respect whatever that position may be as long as it serves the team and their best interest. 

I am open to traveling for school. I have grown roots in rural North Carolina, but I am most certainly willing to travel to a program that matches with my hopes and desires. I am willing to adapt for the right school, and I will undoubtedly appreciate the opportunities given to me by all coaches.
