Parkey Off The Mat
I chose to attend Oklahoma State because: It's close to home and it's the best team.
If I would describe myself as a wrestler, I would say: I'm in shape.
If I were to describe myself as a person, I would say: I'm laid back.
I would describe John Smith: As being dedicated.
My favorite thing about being in Stillwater is: My friends.
My favorite thing about being a wrestler at Oklahoma State is: Winning championships.
If I was talking to someone who didn't know about wrestling and they asked me about the Oklahoma State wrestling program, I would say: It's the best program of any sport at any level.
If I could compete in any other sport besides wrestling, it would be: Cross country.
If I could trade places with anyone in the world for a day, it would be: Keith Richards.
The thing that inspires me when I compete is: Helping the team.
The proudest moment of my life so far was: Winning state.
When I'm not wrestling or in school, I enjoy: Watching movies.
