Mark Henry, former WWE World Heavyweight Champion, recently shared his excitement about his son, Jacob Henry, committing to the University of Oklahoma for wrestling. As a University of Texas alum, Mark initially had mixed feelings about his son joining the Crimson and Cream, but he has since warmed up to the idea and is optimistic about Jacob’s future.
Aside from wrestling, there is a possibility that Jacob might also join OU’s football team, showcasing his skills as a two-sport athlete. Mark mentioned that the wrestling coaches at the university are impressive and even encouraged Jacob to participate in spring football. This opens up new opportunities for Jacob to excel in multiple sports.
Despite the option to pursue football, Jacob’s true passion lies in pro wrestling. According to Mark, Jacob’s aspirations go beyond traditional athletic accolades, as he dreams of headlining WrestleMania, becoming a champion in Japan, and making a name for himself in the world of WWE. Mark expressed his unwavering support for Jacob’s ambitions and emphasized the importance of earning a college degree before venturing into the wrestling industry.
Mark Henry made it clear that he will be by Jacob’s side every step of the way, but with a condition – both Jacob and his daughter must first earn their college degrees. Mark humorously mentioned that handing him their degrees would unlock their inheritance and grant them the freedom to pursue their passions. This highlights Mark’s commitment to education and setting a solid foundation for his children’s future.

Mark Henry’s son’s commitment to the University of Oklahoma for wrestling not only signifies a new chapter in Jacob’s athletic career but also reflects his bold ambitions of pursuing a future in pro wrestling. With Mark’s guidance and unwavering support, Jacob is poised to make a mark in both collegiate sports and the world of WWE, showcasing the determination and passion that run in the Henry family.
