Dennis was a two-time All-American for the Iowa Hawkeyes, including a runner-up finish in 2010. In the 2010 finals match, Dennis gave up four points with under five seconds left to the University of Minnesota's Jayson Ness to lose the match. Following this stunning defeat, Dennis checked out for a few years, living out of his truck and later a trailer, travelling around the Western United States while wrestling and coaching sporadically. He eventually became a coach at Windsor High School in California.
