Christian Carroll commits to Okie st

Hope we trounce them every year. But glad they got this one, they needed something after the jerk was brought to light. Okie St and Iowa have done more to promote college wrestling than any others, let the rivalry continue.
 
Carroll is really good and was number 2 on my wish list. Why was he #2 on my wish list. Probably because I have a hard time believing Ben K. Will be wrestling for more than 1 year. I have a hard time believing after 1 year of football that he will see the bigger picture and that’s a really good chance he will be playing on Sunday’s and he won’t want to jeopardize that.

I tend to agree but I will point out that a very small percentage of college players play in the nfl. A lower percentage play for more than a year, and even lower percentage play for 3 years or more.

The money sure is nice but the beating your body takes might not be worth it given the percentages. That said more power to him, if he has the chance it still might be worth it just in case he’s in the small number of people that play for 3 or more years.

I hope he wrestles, because I think he will be a national champion at some point. It’s a tough call and he’s lucky enough to be faced with the choice

Has there ever been a wrestler/football player who got hurt wrestling and was not able to play in the nfl?

certainly several lineman who credited wrestling as helping them play at the highest level
 
Being a two sport star he may bring In enough NIL money to stay in school unless he’s a sure fire 1st round draft pick

I can’t think of any current guys that have even attempted to do it. Both sports are hard on the body. It would be a remarkable feat for him to even attempt it, let alone be successful at wrestling, following a football season.

Rutgers recently had a guy attempting to do both, looks like he’s no longer on the wrestling roster. Same with Greenlee at Iowa State, he’s on the football roster, not the wrestling roster.

Correct, to have a guy healthy for 8 d1 football and wrestling seasons in a 4 year span or even 5 years. Not likely. Both brutal sports.

also I wouldn’t be surprised if Carroll went 97

Carroll most definitely is NOT going 197. Okie st has that weight covered over the next few years. Luke Surber who wrestled hwt last year is going to be the 197 lber for the next 3 years in Stillwater. I think he'll be low AA to rd 12 type guy. Carroll will be a AA contender right out the gate imo. I like his upside even more than Feldman even though Feldman beat him at WNO last year 3-2.

Yes...Kyonte Hamilton..Was ranked #1 at 285lbs in 2020 by Flo at one point...Had a breakout freshman season for RU football last year and now is a Defensive starter and stopped wrestling

Another huge football/wrestler this season is Jimmy Mullen..Just signed with VT

Josh Hokit from Fresno was an AA in 2019 and 2020 while also playing football.
 
Typically if the guy turns out to be good a college football player, there will be pressure from coaches and alumni to drop wrestling, especially in light if the fact that any scholarship will count against football.
