Many great wrestlers have come through the Fresno State’s wrestling program. And heavyweight AJ Nevills may be on his way to adding his name to that list of greats.
And looking at his lineage, it is no wonder why he chose wrestling.
AJ has two older brothers who have wrestled collegiately for two national heavyweight schools. Zach wrestled at Stanford from 2012 to 2016 and Nick is a senior at top-ranked Penn State University.
Wrestling for Clovis High School, AJ won the California Interscholastic Federation championship in 2016 at 220 pounds.
His younger brother Seth also wrestles for Clovis High and has won three consecutive state championships and may be the third California prep to win four state titles.
