Michigan State linebacker Kyler Elsworth was a hero of Wednesday's Rose Bowl, the game's defensive Most Valuable Player after playing most of this season on special teams and joining the program five years ago as a walk-on.
Long before his name was flashed across national football broadcasts, Elsworth was a three sport standout at Goodrich High School and two-time MHSAA wrestling champion.
Here's his 2009 championship match against Dundee then-sophomore Justin Heiserman, who has gone on to wrestle at the University of Buffalo. Elsworth won by pin to claim his second straight Division 3 title at 189 pounds.
