An excellent athlete, he was one of New Jersey's top wrestlers last season and made it all the way to the state championships in the 189-pound class.
Jean would like to attend a few camps this summer, but he still has not decided which ones.
“I think I’ll be going to at least two camps. I need to find out the dates so I can decide which ones are best for me.
