Bio
2024-25: FRESHMAN - Match List
"Jack was one of our first commitments in this class. He was a three-time Minnesota state champion and was a three-sport athlete who trained year round in wrestling. He is long and great on top. We are impressed by his work ethic and commitment to the sport of wrestling. Jack loves Gopher Wrestling; there's something to be said about guys who grow up wanting to be a Gopher. It is fun to help that dream come true and then to prepare them to get their hands raised in the Pav."
