A former amateur wrestling standout and two-time NCAA All-American, Jacob Kasper may be laced with more potential than anyone else on this list.

POST Wrestling's John Pollock posted the following appraisal of the 25-year-old yesterday:-

Kasper had been pegged for a WWE deal all the way back in May 2018. He is 6'3", around 230lbs, and, per ESPN's KC Joyner, "has the personality, athletic ability, willingness to wield a microphone, and a number of other factors that make him a special prospect coming out of college." Gerald Brisco has previously compared Kasper to a young John Cena, saying he has the kind of personality "that when they come into a room, everyone there knows that person has arrived."

This sounds extremely promising for Jacob, who is a lifelong wrestling fan and has dreamed of headlining WrestleMania since he was a child.
