UB wrestler Nate Rose blossoming after summer wilt
January 11, 2017

 


Last summer, Nate Rose was reintroduced to a life in the South Bronx that didn't include wrestling. He was working for a local delicatessen, delivering sandwiches for $5 an hour plus tips, while contemplating his next move. His only certainty was that he was finished with the sport.

His master plan called for dropping out of the University at Buffalo after one year and kissing his scholarship goodbye. He had listened to an inner voice begging him to quit and telling him wrestling wasn't worth the sacrifice and commitment. He won back-to-back state titles in high school and gave it the old college try.

For him, it was enough.
