Iyanuoluwa Akingbolagun '24 Recruiting Profile

My overall goal is to take wrestling to the highest level because I know I have the potential, drive, and heart to do so.  After 4 long years away from the sport, I have dedicated the last year to putting in the extra work despite many set backs to make up for the lost mat time to ensure I reach that goal.  My focus is to graduate high school with a 4.0  GPA while working part-time and be awarded both academic and wrestling full scholarships. I will then continue my studies with a major in Business & Finance and a minor in Entrepreneurship in preparation to fulfill my 11 year old business plan of having my own business. (Yes, you did the math correctly, I had a business plan at 4 years old).

There is much love, enjoyment, and passion that I put into wrestling as wrestling has given so much to me first. I naturally have great energy and nothing but positive encouragement towards everyone, even more so for my team.  Many see me as a leader because of my discipline and work ethic no matter on the mat or in daily life, but I just see myself as a young, Christian, man trying to make his way in this world the way God has planned for me.
