Drew Forshey: ‘The Hickory Hammer’

Posted Nov 22, 2005

UNC wrestler Drew Forshey is a machine. Going 215-and-2 in high school? You have got to be kidding. Four state titles? Only three other kids in the history of North Carolina wrestling have done that. Just watch him go. His teammates call him “The Hickory Hammer,” an homage to his hometown and his ability to nail foes to the mat with brutal efficiency. (Daily Tar Heel)
