5 WWE Superstars that earned scholarships at college

#3 Jack Swagger

Jack Swagger’s background in wrestling extends beyond the WWE ring.

Jack Swagger has hit hard times on WWE programming recently, as he rarely performs and doesn’t win meaningful matches much when he does. But Swagger is a former Money in the Bank winner and held the World Heavyweight Championship as a result.

Before that, though, Swagger – real name Jake Hager – was recruited to the University of Oklahoma as both a football player and wrestler. He quit football to focus solely on wrestling, and that helped lead to being named an All-American and recording 30 pins.
