If you just started following Gabe Dean within the last year, then you probably expect that the 184lber has always been an absolute stud on the mat. Not the case! The Cornell star tells us of a wrestling career filled with plenty of ups and down and is very candid about his not planning on wrestling in college at all (he originally wanted to play football). Gabe did end up wrestling in college though (obviously), but it wasn't exactly smooth sailing from the get-go; in fact, he went 0-2 in his first collegiate tournament. But things change for a man who's willing to outwork his competition. And as it stands right now, the returning All American, the man who took down Ed Ruth (!!!!), Gabe Dean is currently ranked #1 in the country and the favorite to win an NCAA title as a sophomore.
