Jarrid Rodriguez Quotations

We were thrilled for her. It was awesome.

Coach (Todd Fox) told me that state would be a whole new world. Oh, boy, was he right.

If I wrestle in college it will be as a heavyweight and I'll have to bulk up a whole lot more. In a way, it sucks, but it wouldn't bother me. I'll be able to chow down instead of cutting weight constantly. I've weighed as much as 250 pounds and that's when I maxed out on the bench press at 485 pounds. So I guess being at heavyweight would be all right.

It was a wake-up call. I was too tentative and didn't fire out like I normally do. I tried to turn it on at the end, but it was too late.

It's coach Fox's call. He knows me almost as good as my mom (Julie Ruiz) does.

I wasn't counting the seconds on the clock; I just knew I couldn't let him get the takedown. To be honest, I wasn't thinking about much of anything. I just listen to what the coaches tell me. I usually just draw blanks.
