Coach Wagers 43 Report post Posted February 26, 2015 I don't know how many Buckeye fans are out there, but this is a good article that came out a week or so ago. Fickell (OSU Defensive Coordinator) was a 3 time state champ, and LOVES wrestlers. Tressel also has a video somewhere about his recruiting tactics for wrestlers while at tOSU. http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/sports/2007/08/15/osufb15.ART_ART_08-15-07_C1_KF7KAPU.html These sports go hand in hand, I wish more football coaches would buy in on how it can help everyone. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazyotto 381 Report post Posted February 26, 2015 Tja- awesome list! Coach Wagers- right on re:Fickell. There seems to be an article like this every year. Tim Krumrie is one of my favorites. He coached w/ the Bengals after his playing days. Part of his pre-draft scouting consisted of wrestling with prospective draft picks. Dude was an animal! Coachteater- be sure to show this list to your school's football coach (oftentimes a big hurdle in recruiting fb players). There are many "testimonials" from college and pro coaches regarding wrestling positive impact on developing football skills. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coach Wagers 43 Report post Posted February 26, 2015 There was a interview with Roddy White (Falcon WR) on Monday night football 2-3 years ago, talking about his skills and talents, and he gave a BIG SHOUT OUT to his wrestling days back in high school and how it helped him accel in football. He was a 2X South Carolina State Champ Just found this on youtube- Roddy at the OTC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
