Should he be wrestling?? Just asking. I know in high school they compliment each other. But a scholarship football player at a power 5 school seems like a full time job. I guess if the coaching staff is ok then fine by me

I like it. Wrestling really helps with keeping a low center of gravity and agility. Just hope he doesn't lose too much weight.

With the size and strength of those two. I would think they beat out Utter for the starting job.

Would imagine he's a heavy anyhow, shouldn't have to cut any.
285 is the limit and according to his Bio he's 310. I don't think it would be a problem if he dropped some bad weight and then put on muscle mass to get back up there. Wrestling ends at the end of March so it shouldn't interfere with football

Not a wrestling guy but I think there may be a cap in the heavyweight division. 285 maybe?

285 is the limit.

I would have liked Janovich to wrestle as well, especially after his sophomore and junior seasons of little playing time.

Mike Knox wrestled back in the day for NU and qualified for Nationals, filling in for the massive Gary Albright. The loudest pad pop I heard in Memorial is owned by Knox.

I thought I read somewhere that our current heavyweight was highly-rated. Hope Tanner can get his wrestling fix while pushing him to keep improving. Then come next Spring he will be ready to kick some ***.

never understood the desire to grope around in a hot room with some other guy on a mat.. I mean, really not appealing.
It helps if you know some of the moves. The fascination then comes in watching each wrestler try to set up these moves. It really is a chess match and were lucky here in the B1G, because it is the most dominant Wrestling conference in the country.
