Declan McMahon, son of Shane McMahon and grandson of Vince McMahon, will play college football at Indiana
The lineage that is perhaps the biggest dynasty in professional wrestling will be competing in college football in the fall.
Declan McMahon, the son of wrestler Shane McMahon and grandson of WWE President and CEO Vince McMahon, has announced his commitment as a priority step for Indiana Hoosiers on Twitter. Declan McMahon, who is primarily a backrunner but can also play quarterback, played high school football in New York at Poly Prep Country Day School in Brooklyn. McMahon also said on Twitter that he visited with Duke and Rutgers in the past few weeks and said he received an offer from Fordham and University of East Carolina.
McMahon comes from a prominent sports family. His father, Shane, has been a professional wrestler for more than 30 years, and Vince, his 76-year-old grandfather, most recently gave former NFL pitcher Pat McAfee a match at WrestleMania 38, pinning him before receiving a stunner from “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, who wrestled his first WWE match in nearly two decades.
Declan McMahon celebrated his commitment on Twitter, with proud father Shane also posting a touching tribute to his son.
