Bo Bassett speaks up about his love for watching football

Bo Bassett opened up about his love towards football, besides competing on the wrestling mat. The IOWA Hawkeyes commit also revealed that the NFL side, the Pittsburgh Steelers, is his favorite football team.

In an interview, Bassett stated that even though he likes to travel, watching football, including the collegiate circuit, is a major leisure activity for him outside wrestling. He also added that he will now have to follow the IOWA football team as he is a Hawkeye now. Bassett said (via Wrestlers Grind, 17:06 onwards):

"I like to travel, I'm a big Steelers fan, so we watch football, big college football fan, I guess now I'm an IOWA Hawkeye fan but I used to just watch college football but the Steelers are my team for the NFL but mayble I'll start being IOWA fan, I'm going to start following their recruiting, everything, so that will be fun to do but we really like to watch football... I am in the gym a lot too if I'm not wrestling."

During the conversation, Bo Bassett remarked that he also looks to devote a portion of his time to doing Bible studies and prayers.
