#193 Jordan Blanton – 3x All American / 3x Illinois State Champ

ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Jordan Blanton (@JBla174) is a bad man. He won 3 Illinois State titles, with his only loss coming in the IHSA state finals in 2007 against the great Mike Benefiel.  During Blanton’s senior year, he won an EPIC semi-final match against Chris Spangler, before winning his 3rd state title. These matches folks – Blanton / Benefiel and Blanton / Spangler – were two of the most anticipated matches of the 2000’s for Illinois fans. After high school, Jordan won 3 All American honors for the Fighting Illini. Today, he runs his family’s business – J Blanton Plumbing – and co-owns the Relentless Training Center with fellow state champion Ryan Prater.  Enjoy it folks!
