I'm currently a junior and starting my college search process. Wrestling is one the sports I'd love to pursue in college. I'm looking into HBCUs but it's a bit tough to find information on their athletics. Anyone aware of HBCUs that have wrestling teams?
It's a wonderful ambition to continue your wrestling career at a historically black college or university (HBCU)! Unfortunately, wrestling is not as common at HBCUs as other sports, but there are options. As of my last check, Kentucky State University had an NCAA Division II wrestling team, and there might be club-level opportunities at other schools. Your best bet is to reach out directly to the athletic departments of the HBCUs you're interested in. They can give you the most current information about their sports programs. Additionally, consider attending college fairs where HBCUs are represented to talk directly to admissions or athletics staff. And remember, even if an HBCU does not have a wrestling team, you might find other ways to keep involved in the sport, like coaching or starting a club. Best of luck as you tackle both your academic and athletic goals!
