Ben is from Gilbert, IA and was a star athlete, participating in football, wrestling, soccer and track and field. Ben ultimately chose to play football at the University of Wyoming and, after graduating in 4 years, Ben transferred to Iowa State for his final year of eligibility. But as Ben’s mom, Jinjer, said about wrestling, “Once it’s in the blood, it’s in the blood forever.” With that, Ben revived his wrestling career. He started training and competing on the world level, placing at several tournaments. He made such a strong impression that he was asked to stick around Ames and become the Strength and Condition coach for the Cyclones. Along with the wrestling team, Ben also works with gymnastics, men’s and women’s cross country and track and field. So please, sit back, relax and enjoy, Ben Durbin!
