Nathan Everhart (born September 28, 1988) is an American professional wrestler and former amateur wrestler. He is signed to WWE, where he performs on the SmackDown brand under the ring name Jason Jordan and is one half of the tag team American Alpha along with Chad Gable, where they are the current SmackDown Tag Team Champions in their first reign.
Everhart was born in Tinley Park, Illinois. He said he began amateur wrestling at seven years old because he thought it was the same as professional wrestling. In high school, Everhart was a three-sport athlete, competing in wrestling, football and baseball. He was drafted straight out of high school for professional baseball, but passed up the offer in order to go to college and wrestle. He attended Indiana University and competed for them in the Big Ten Conference. Everhart became a three-time national qualifier for NCAA at the Division I level.
While wrestling at Indiana University, Everhart was ranked top 15 in the nation for three years in a row and was ranked as high as 2nd in the nation at heavyweight. He was described as a unique and impressive athlete, weighing 225 pounds while competing at the 285 pound weight class. He used speed and agility to overcome his bigger opposition. In his senior year, Everhart was undefeated in the regular season going 35-0 and earning him ranking of second best wrestler in the nation. During his fourth year of wrestling, he worked as a student coach at his university and helped two All-Americans at 197 lbs and a heavyweight.
Everhart graduated with a bachelor's degree in biology with minors in chemistry, social science, and medicine. He put attending dental school on hold to pursue his dream of being a professional wrestler. Due to his legendary accolades at Indiana University, he had his face painted onto the wall of the campus' University Gymnasium in 2010. On an episode of WWE Breaking Ground, he revealed that all three of his brothers are in jail.
