Mark Henry’s son Jacob signs with WWE

Jacob is currently enrolled at the University of Oklahoma and on the school’s wrestling team.

In a recent interview with TMZ Sports, Mark stated that Jacob was also considering trying out for OU’s spring football team:

“They wanted him to come out for spring football, so you might get to see him out there on that field too as a two-sport athlete.”

It is unclear if Jacob has a WWE start date, or if he going to finish his collegiate career before officially joining the company.

In the same TMZ interview, Mark stated that Jacob’s passion is wrestling, but that Mark wanted him to complete his college degree before entering the business:

“His true passion is pro wrestling. He’s not trying to be the Olympic champion. He said, ‘Dad, I’m not trying to go to the Pro Bowl or win the Super Bowl.’ He said, ‘I want to main event WrestleMania. I wanna go to Japan and be champion.'”

He’s gotta hand me that degree first. Him and my daughter both. I was like, ‘Y’all hand me the degree, I will give you the keys to your inheritance and you can go do whatever you want to do.'”
