Tyron Woodley

From the great cultural garden of the Midwest, Tyron Woodley calls the neighbourhood of Ferguson, Missouri home. Growing up, he was primarily raised by his mother, and it was a daily struggle to survive. To avoid a life of crime, Tyron says he dedicated himself to academic and athletic excellence. He refused to become another victim of the stereotype of his environment. In high school Tyron was awarded for being a two-time All American Wrestler as well as being a permanent fixture on the Honor Roll. He continued on to attend the University of Missouri, where he was the 1st Big 12 Champion in the recorded history of the school and was recognized as a two-time All American.
