Reece Humphrey kind of always knew he'd be an Ohio State
Buckeye, so when the decision came to choose a college after
graduating from Lawrence North High School in 2005, he headed east
to Columbus.
On Episode 177 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we'll jump
forward 10 years and talk to Humphrey, who will represent the
United States at the 2015 United World Wrestling Championships in
Las Vegas in September. This will be Humphrey's third opportunity
to wrestle for gold at the World Championships.
Humphrey goes back to tell a unique story about how he got involved
with wrestling and, believe it or not, it had NOTHING to do with
his dad, who was a 1977 World silver medalist.
He'll also give his take on what it was like during the transition
from Russ Hellickson's era to the new regime under Tom Ryan and the
pride associated with winning a team title, even as an alum.
It's a discussion about history, overcoming a challenging weight
cut and life as a husband and father. Follow Humphrey on Twitter
