Early Life

Kamarudeen Kamaru Usman was born May 11, 1987, in Auchi, Edo State, Nigeria, to Muhammed Nasiru Usman, a major general in the Nigerian army, and his wife, a teacher.

Growing up, he lived in Benin City until his father relocated to the US, where he studied and became a pharmacist in the United States.

Subsequently, the whole family moved to Della’s Texas, including Usman, eight years old, and Kashetu and Mohammed.

Wrestling Career

Usman’s wrestling career began in his sophomore year while in high school at Bowie High School in Arlington, Texas.

He joined the school’s team and had a compiling record of 53–3 in high school wrestling. He ended up in third place at the Texas state championships.

After high school, Usman was accepted into William Penn University, where he continued wrestling and made it as an NAIA national tournament qualifier in 2007, however as a result of a snowstorm, he couldn’t meet up with half of his team and head coach, who had earlier left for the tournament without him.

As a result of being unable to attend the game, Usman left William Penn just after a year in the school and transferred to the University of Nebraska at Kearney (UNK).

UNK had earlier tried to recruit him before now, and under his new team, Usman helped win the first-ever team title for the University in 2008.

While in UNK, he was top 3 for three years and was a two-time national finalist.

In 2010, he became the NCAA Division II national champion at 174 pounds, ending the season with 44–1 and 30 straight wins.
