Actually he is a prop 48 red shirt. He has to get through his first year successfully he will be able to compete next year. He is currently thinking about wrestling in and open tournament in Edinboro this weekend, However the NCAA wil not allow him to even practice with the team until he is eligible. He is studying very hard.

I'm not sure what he's weighing, but I've heard that they want him to be a legitmate college heavyweight...

They want him to wrestle heavyweight. He goes about 265. He is currently benching 520 and is power cleaning over 300 along with squating over 700. If he gets his grades in shape he will be ready. Remember in high school his football weight was near 250.

benching 520? is that true, cause it soudns kinda far fetched if you ask me. hes 19 and benching as much as nfl lineman? if that were true hed be signed to a d1 football program of his choice, not getting his grades up to wrestle at lock haven. but if it is true, what the hell does he eat? people?

Actually I sptted him the first time he did 500. It was after he did a set of 5 at 475. I saw him do it again the following week at the end of a workout there were 3 kids spotting him. He was doing 450 last winter when he was in high school when his body weight was about 210. Saw him do it regularly at the end of his chest routine. I lift at the same gym.

If he benches 500, squats 700, and only cleans 300 he has the worst hips in the NCAA. If that is the case he won't be much of wrestler without great hips. We know he could wrestle so I also think something is amiss.
