The McMahon family has always been very entertaining and has a history of being in the headlines. The respect the McMahons have is unmatched and will never be topped by any other sports entertainment organization. While most of the McMahon family has been involved in the wrestling business, it seems that Shane McMahon might see his son do wonders in some other sport.
Declan James McMahon, son of Shane, was recently spotted at WWE Fastlane alongside his teammates. Many people predicted that Declan might join the Stamford-based promotion and are hinting at his debut, but only a few know in which field he excels the most.

Declan McMahon is a college football player who currently plays for the Indiana Hoosiers. He plays in the running back position as of now and is a highly skilled athlete. The 19-year-old was first seen on WWE television during Shane’s iconic WrestleMania 32 entrance. From his standout days in school, he was deeply interested in football and decided to make a career out of it.

Declan joined the Indiana Hoosiers in 2022 and announced it on his X account. His father, Shane, is a huge supporter of him and never misses a chance to tell the world how proud he is of his son. With his exceptional football skills, he even received various scholarships from various universities in East Carolina and Fordham.
Early Childhood and College Life of Declan McMahon
Being Shane’s eldest son and Vince‘s eldest grandson, Declan had a huge chip on his shoulder while growing up. He was part of a family that was popular worldwide and earned a lot of respect throughout. Declan was determined to make a name for himself in a separate sporting field rather than pro wrestling.

Being pampered by his father and grandfather, Declan did his high schooling at Poly Prep Country Day School in Brooklyn. His keen interest in football started during his schooling days when he started playing in the quarterback and running back positions. He was then scouted by Indiana University and is currently loving his professional career.
It is still quite unsure whether he will ever compete in a WWE ring. The McMahons have had a huge history of involving themselves in the business over the years. The 19-year-old might be the next McMahon who could grace the company just like his dad and grandfather did. With Declan competing for the Indiana Hoosiers, he plans to be a part of the NFL soon and prove that the McMahons can excel in every sport and not just pro wrestling.
