Preston Crone '26 Recruiting Profile

I’ve been wrestling for four years now, and I absolutely love it. Before I started, I competed in BJJ, which really helped me pick up wrestling techniques fast. From day one I’ve been obsessed with catching up on everything I need to know to stay competitive—wrestling year-round, working two-a-days, and learning from some awesome coaches. It’s crazy to think I only started wrestling in middle school, and now I’ve placed third at the state finals twice and taken first in a bunch of SC and NC tournaments. I’ve pushed myself at camps like The Citadel and Lander, and I’ve tested my skills at big meets like Super 32 and NHSCA Nationals. I’m always the first one in the gym and the last one to leave, because I know there’s always room to get better. I’m looking for a program that’ll challenge me every single day and help me unlock my full potential, and I'm positive I'll make an impact in a college program.
