Personal: Younger brother of Warriors' All-American and CCC Champion David Rubio, Jesse arrives to Corban's campus with an opportunity to continue the Rubio legacy and wrestle alongside his brother for at least the upcoming season. As a state placer and conference champion himself while at McKay High School, Jesse looks to elevate the Warriors to an even higher level of competition.

The second Rubio to join the Navy and Gold will be pursuing a degree in Kinesiology with the hopes of becoming an athletic trainer.
