"Some of Matt Roth’s intensity can also be attributed to his successful run as a state
champion wrestler in high school. Many coaches, scouts and wrestlers turned football
players will laud wrestling for the leverage and quick hands it provides for football. Roth
credits wrestling for the never say die attitude it gave him.
"It’s the attitude. (Wrestling) helps you with your hips, your hands and your balance, but
more than anything it helps you with your attitude," he said. "A lot of these kids that are
basketball players, we eat those kids up. It’s just our mentality you’re going to get the
job done and you’re going to punish them."
Roth said his dream partner on the wrestling mat would be Ravens LB Ray Lewis,
himself an accomplished high school wrestler."
