Tegray Scales once had a wish.

If the Indiana linebacker had it his way, he would’ve been a two-sport star in college.

That was Scales at Colerain High School in Cincinnati, where he earned scholarship offers on the football field, while also generating statewide acclaim on the wrestling mat.

In a former life, Scales was one of the most decorated wrestlers in Ohio, qualifying for state three times and finishing second at 195 pounds as a high school senior in 2014.
