Brock Lesnar in High School Was Just a Shadow of His Future Self, Here’s Why

Love him or hate him, there is no denying that Brock Lesnar had a career and physique that very few others in the history of professional wrestling have ever possessed. Additionally, it’s reasonable to claim that no wrestler has existed who could compare to The Beast Incarnate in terms of ability. He benefited in his career, thanks to his staggering strength, skin-tearing strikes, and terrifying glare.

Notably, Lesnar is not one of many people who is out and about talking to the public and is highly sociable. Thus, there are still many unknowns about him, and many admirers wonder what The Beast Incarnate was like in high school.

Which high school did Brock Lesnar attend, and how did he fare there?

The Beast Incarnate was raised on his farm in Webster, South Dakota, where he was born. The children wouldn’t be able to participate in sports at their neighbors’ homes because of farming. Lesnar’s parents did support his participation in athletics, though. He attended Webster High School, where he began playing a little amateur football and amateur wrestling under the tutelage of John Schiley.

The majority of athletes begin their preparation for their professional careers in high school, and Lesnar is no exception. Additionally, he was a tall, skinny boy in high school, in contrast to his WWE persona, who intimidated people with his fearsome build.

Given that he was still growing into everything, and was tall and slender. He competed in wrestling at 98 pounds while he was in the seventh-grade. He then experienced a growth spurt and began to bulk out.

In his autobiography, he stated, “Coming up through the high school ranks, I was never a monster by any means. I was just trying to grow into my own skin.
