Olympian. National champion. Singer?

That’s right. Missouri wrestler J’den Cox is one of the most talented people in all of college sports. A bronze medalist in the 86kg freestyle in Rio, there’s no denying Cox’s talent on the mat. But now, he’s showcasing his chops on the microphone to the world.

Cox recently sang the National Anthem at a Missouri football game, and he received well-deserved praise. Watch the video below to find out more about Cox’s musical passion:

Cox’s musical talent makes perfect sense; after all, he started singing when he was three and started wrestling when he was four. It’s always fun to see collegiate athletes showcasing their abilities outside of sports.

Joe Boozell has been a college basketball writer for NCAA.com since 2015. His work has also appeared in Bleacher Report, FOXSports.com and NBA.com. Joe’s claim to fame since joining NCAA.com: he’s predicted the correct national championship game twice… and picked the wrong winner both times. Growing up, Joe squared off against both Anthony Davis and Frank Kaminsky in the Chicagoland basketball scene. You can imagine how that went.
