The University of Central Missouri tweets: "We have signed 2xtime Nebraska State Champ John F. of Omaha Northwest HS. Projected 125/133."It was dated May 2016. John F., an 18-year old senior, enrolled at the University of Central Missouri that fall.
I'm interested in that wrestling singlet, an eagle with the beak furnished by the player's you-know-what. It's rather...um...obtrusive, obviously deliberate.
Are all wrestlers at Omaha Northwest HS similarly decked out?
I found John F's Facebook and twitter accounts. A few more beefcake photos, but none in that singlet.
Omaha Northwest High School, in the far northwest by the 680 freeway, has huskies, not eagles, as its mascot, and the wrestling singlets look like this. No eagle with the beak outlining the player's you-know-what.
Maybe the article made a mistake, and John F. graduated from another Omaha high school?
Orlando has the most unusual high school names, and Omaha has the least.
Burke, in the far west near Boys Town. Their mascot is a bulldog.
Benson, in the ritzy northern neighborhood called "Country Club," home of the "Mighty Bunnies!" No bunny on this wrestler's singlet, but no eagle, either.
Omaha South, by L Street, near El Museo Latino. Their team name is the Packers, with a red bull as mascot. I couldn't find any team photos.Omaha North, on Ames Avenue near Jim's Rib Haven. Their mascot is a Viking. I couldn't find any wrestling singlets, but these swimsuits should give you an idea: no eagles.
This one comes close, but the beak is in the wrong place.
Google images claims that this person wrestles for the Liberty High Eagles of Bealeton, Virginia. I highly doubt it.
These blond wrestlers are from the Fauquier High Eagles in Warrentown, Virginia.
The one on the left, with the distinctive frizzy hair, is a state champion.
Maybe John F. has a Alaskan Husky on his singlet after all, and that's a snout instead of a beak.
Maybe I'll just conduct a little search for wrestling teams called the Huskies....
