Nnodim (6’1, 245 LBS), is DL for Mesquite Horn 2024 DL and is preparing for the new football season by taking part in high level school grappling contests.

Coach Ethan Gardinar feels Nnodim’s approach to preparing for the upcoming gridiron season is smart.

I will say it over and over, football and wrestling just go hand in hand. Every football player looking to get that edge should be wrestling in the winter. It wont be easy, but nothing worth doing is. Set yourself apart, compete,get better, & be a champion…

There were other high-level personalities who took to Nnodim’s post, including the Mesquite ISD Athletics.

This kid had never wrestled in his life until the football season ended in November and he joined the wrestling team. Unbelievable.
