During his formative years, Jack Swagger was a hell of an athlete. At the University Of Oklahoma, Swagger excelled in both Amateur Wrestling and American Football. In 2006, the man signed with World Wrestling Entertainment after being head-hunted by Jim Ross. The legendary announcer was incredibly impressed with his physical skills, and clearly felt he had the look and size for success in WWE. Things haven't always been smooth for Swagger in the company. Upon launching his main roster career on the now-defunct ECW brand in 2008, he looked like the next top prospect in the promotion. When he was finally pushed to the World Heavyweight Title crown in 2010, it seemed a little sudden, and he's been treading water pretty much ever since. Before joining WWE, Jack Swagger was all set to have a less interesting career. At The University Of Oklahoma, where he'd previously played football and wrestled, Swagger graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Finance. When quizzed about the subject, he say he had successfully applied for a finance job in Dallas, Texas, but gave it up to chase his dreams in WWE.
