Former Illinois and St. John's point guard Andre Curbelo is not a professional wrestler, despite social media claims. A video circulating on X suggested that he had transitioned to wrestling, but it actually features wrestler Jermaine Marbury, who resembles Curbelo. Curbelo, who played for Illinois from 2020-2022, is currently with the Atléticos de San Germán in Puerto Rico. The misunderstanding stemmed from Marbury's appearance and social media presence.
