He's already talking with Penn State and Iowa and not for DL, but likely OG or Center. Wrestling will fund his scholarship. Preferred walk-on status as freshman and redshirt wrestling his freshman year. Will give coaches opportunity to evaluate where he is for football. He will have other offers primarily Army, Navy, Air Force who do allow multiple sport just be requesting it for any appointee.
I am leaning he is going to Iowa despite the depth there at heavyweight.
