Mark Henry, a former WWE World Heavyweight Champion, recently shared his excitement about his son, 18-year-old Jacob Henry, committing to the University of Oklahoma for wrestling. Despite being a University of Texas alum, Mark has come to terms with his son’s decision and is thrilled about the opportunities that lie ahead for him. In addition to wrestling, there’s a possibility that Jacob may also join OU’s football team, showcasing his skills as a two-sport athlete.
While Jacob has the option to pursue various athletic paths, his true passion lies in professional wrestling. According to Mark, Jacob dreams of main eventing WrestleMania and becoming a champion in Japan, setting his sights on a career in the WWE. Mark expressed his unwavering support for his son’s aspirations and is committed to being by his side every step of the way. However, there is one condition that Jacob must fulfill before chasing his wrestling dreams – earning his college degree.
Mark emphasized the importance of education by stating that Jacob must hand him his college degree, along with his daughter, before they receive their inheritance. Despite his own successful wrestling career, Mark values education and wants his children to prioritize their academic pursuits. Apart from supporting his children’s educational endeavors, Mark stays busy with his own professional ventures.
In addition to his role as a proud father, Mark Henry is involved in various projects within the wrestling industry. He hosts radio shows on SiriusXM and iHeartRadio while also serving as a booker for All Caribbean Wrestling, a wrestling promotion known for its high-quality shows internationally. Mark takes pride in putting on elite-level performances and is looking forward to collaborating with Major League Wrestling in the near future.
Overall, Mark Henry’s pride and joy lie in his son’s commitment to the University of Oklahoma and his dream of becoming a WWE Superstar. With unwavering support from his father and a clear vision for his future in wrestling, Jacob Henry is poised to make a name for himself in the world of professional sports entertainment.
