Will Patton '16 Recruiting Profile

I have always dreamed of wrestling in college. My person goal since 4th grade has been to wrestle on a college team. However, that goal has shaped into being an All- American. I am a good candidate because of my ability to push through the hard times. I was diagnosed with Mononucleosis two weeks before the state tournament my freshman season in 2013. I was unable to wrestle in the tournament that year because of it. As well as the Mononucleosis, I injured my shoulder during the summer before my sophomore year. I would later re-injure that shoulder in the match of the state tournament of my sophomore year in 2014. I was able to wrestle through and place 5th with the shoulder injury. I am different because of my ability to press on when times get tuff, i continue to push the pace in my matches, and even though i struggle academically, I complete my work on time to the best of my ability.
