Can see why he got leaned on a bit in the one on ones. Think he played in season a shade over 300? Hard to take on the best of the best with out being your optimal weight. Quote Link to comment

Touchdown Tommie Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Really wish he would have been an early enrollee...both to get a jump start with Duval and so our heavyweight does not have to wrestle him. Would have been a win-win! Quote Link to comment
Decked Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 He’ll gain it back rather fast. Multi sport athletes (especially wrestling) have an immense advantage when it comes to footwork and leverage. 1 Quote Link to comment

People always say this, and they say basketball can be good for footwork. Fact is, just b/c hes a wrestler or basketball player, even if they are good at them, doesnt mean he will be a good olineman. If that was the case, there would be a lot of good olineman walking around everywhere. We've gotten a few linemen over the last few years that were good wrestlers or bball players and we havent had an even slightly good lineman for awhile. Quote Link to comment

Coaching and overall talent need to be taken into account here. But overall wrestling and being a multi sport athlete will improve your own athleticism and explosiveness rather than just focusing on football in the summer/fall and lifting weights in the offseason. But you are correct. This alone does not make you a good player but it is certainly a benefit. Quote Link to comment
