Football And Wrestling; Like PB&J

There are some sports at the high school level that just seem to go together for the multi-sport athlete.

Cross country and track, are an obvious combo. The other, seemingly, is football and wrestling.

I don’t know about you, but growing up, almost all our wrestlers played football and most of our front seven on defense or our O-line wrestled.

The reasons write themselves. The physicality, the shape you have to be in, and the pure aggression.

James Lawson is a premier example of a young athlete who does both. The Jet, oddly enough, is a wrestler first, but don’t kid yourself, he loves the gridiron to.
