1952-56
Guard
For an athlete who first came to this country in 1947 from his native Italy, Mario Russo made the most of his time and opportunities.
At Akron he lettered four times each in football and wrestling, earning All-Ohio guard in 1955 and going undefeated for three seasons as a 167-pound wrestler for Andy Maluka. A three-time Ohio Conference mat champion, Russo is one of the most outstanding wrestlers produced at UA.
Russo was inducted into the Summit County Sports Hall of Fame in 1970.
