Takedown Report

Nick Giorgio recalls his journey from the wrestling mat to the defensive line

By Mateo Aycardi@MateoAyy

Nick Giorgio stands straight, eyes locked at his opponent on the other side of the line.  As he lifts his head and angles his frame forward, the weight of his body locks and he prepares himself for the takedown. With a plethora of moves, Giorgio takes down his man and prepares himself for the next sequence of events. The problem, of course, being that the contest is over.

Giorgio had just won the Rhode Island 195 pound State Championship for wrestling.  “Damn,” he thought. “I guess it’s onto football now.”  One of Springfield College’s most remarkable defensive linemen in recent memory knew he had the tools to succeed. He was awarded the honor of captain for both the wrestling and football programs at Cumberland High School in Rhode Island. His athletic record spoke for itself. He was All-State in two sports as a senior in high school and a State Champion in wrestling.  Everything screamed potential.  It was a long and rocky road, however, that eventually landed him in what many people would call “the perfect fit.”  Rest of the story at https://scstudentmedia.com/2018/11/01/nick-giorgio-continues-to-be-a-standout-on-the-field/?mc_cid=05a7f540f5&mc_eid=2ef7cbca4b
