The Magic Man Wants To Call You On Christmas Morning

In addition to writing a letter to Santa Claus this holiday season, make sure you tell David Taylor what you want for Christmas, provided it’s a day spent with the two-time NCAA champion and Hodge Trophy winner.

Taylor announced on Instagram Live Monday night that he will be hosting a contest to bring a fan to State College to go through his routine working out with the Nittany Lion Wrestling Club for a day. ScrapLife, Under Armour’s wrestling brand, will fund the winner’s transportation to State College. To apply, fans are invited to tell him about themselves in three sentences, a simple, yet vaguely difficult challenge.

Although you won’t find Taylor wrapped up with a big, red bow under your tree, the one part better than the winner spending a full day with Taylor is how he/she will hear that they won: a phone call from Taylor himself on Christmas morning. That’s what Paul Giamatti movies are made of.

So pick your three sentences carefully because the Magic Man is making a list and checking it twice.

“No challenge you encounter in college will come close to the obstacles you overcame to get there. However, that drive to do things your own way and disregard for what’s seen as ‘normal’ or ‘expected’ will carry on.”
