Mack Beggs is far from being an ordinary athlete – and not simply because he is a transgender wrestler. 

The 20-year-old Euless, Texas native and subject of the new ESPN 30 for 30 documentary Mack Wrestles spoke to uSports exclusively about the film, his beginnings in wrestling and trans rights within the sport and at large. One of Begg’s many accomplishments came in February 2018, when he won the Texas girls’ Class 6A 110-pound division for the second straight year after defeating the same opponent as the year prior. Beggs began the 2018 Texas state tournament for girls in the weight class with an impressive 32-0 record.
