5 WWE Superstars that earned scholarships at college

#1 Roman Reigns

Roman Reigns was a star defensive lineman during his career at Georgia Tech.

Roman Reigns, real name Joe Anoa’i, didn’t just play American football in college, he was quite the force for Georgia Tech. A team captain his senior year, Anoa’i racked up 108 total tackles in his four-year career, including 29 tackles for loss and 12 sacks.

After that, he had a short stint with the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings before turning his attention to the WWE, where his family has an extensive history. Maybe that football prowess can explain his high-impact style and athletic ability he shows in the ring.
