If he makes a NFL roster he will have made more money from athletics than 99.9% of college wrestlers.  It absolutely makes sense for him to pursue football.

 

Same can be said for guys like Ben Keuter.

Slackman and Ben Goldin were nip and tuck - Goldin beat Slackman at Keystone, but Slackman did get the start over Goldin at Penn State. If my memory is right, both were eventually nicked up either at or right after Midlands, with Goldin returning for EIWAs.

Still, as Slackman notes in one of the articles, I cannot underemphasize the impact COVID had in the Ivy League. Penn's entire team essentially withdrew from school to preserve eligibility after the league decided not to compete in sports in 2020-21. (Rightly or wrongly - I believe wrongly - the schools weren't even offering in-person classes. How could they possibly justify playing games?) Gave a lot of kids a lot of time to think. Happy he came to his decision and that it worked out so well for him.
