Great for those schools college programs...conspicuously absent is anyone from Iowa. Has this happened before? It can't be great for Iowa and the HWC. Penn State: David Taylor (gold), Zain Retherford (gold), Nick Lee Cornell: Vito (gold), Dake Michigan: Parris (bronze), Micic, Amine (bronze)

Is it obvious that he'd be a 4x NCAA champ or would it not fare that well?

You state "Communication relys [sic] on clarity" - now let me point out (in bold) all the grammatical and spelling mistakes you've made while arguing the importance of semantics and clarity in communication. Calling someone stupid when you made close to a dozen spelling and grammatical mistakes in typing out 2 paragraphs is rich. Error log: 1. It's "semantics" not "semantica". 2. Semantics is a branch of linguistics. It's a single subject so "are" is incorrect. It should be "semantics is important". 3. "Relies" not "relys". 4. In America the adjective is "backward" not "backwards". 5. "Explained" not "explaned". 6. It's "welcher" not "welsher". 7. It's "capital letters" not "capitol letters". 8. "Uncle" not "Unele". 9. It's "Purposefully" not "Purosely".

So you are saying you only wanted to ask about NCAA champs that were veterans BEFORE winning NCAA titles? If so, you need to correct a few other posters in this thread...because they are also citing wrestlers who served AFTER winning NCAA titles.

So if the OP had asked about "U.S. Presidents who won spelling bees" you would only list people who were president first before winning a spelling bee?

Semantics. OP can clarify but I doubt he intended to exclusively ask about NCAA champs who served BEFORE winning a title. Why would that matter?

OP asked about military veterans who won NCAA titles. He didn't specify that they had to be enlisted before winning the title.

Matt Brown, Penn State + Army

Or Desanto

Surprised no one has said Dean Heil or Jesse Delgado yet...

Welch?

As a Penn State fan, I think it has to be Kyle Dake - although hate is not really the right word. We certainly respect him and now he's a member of NLWC. But he always beat our golden boy DT and it was frustrating to see someone so good fail time and time again to beat Dake (except in fantasy matches). For Iowa is it Bo Nickal? Never lost to an Iowa guy and embarrassed many (pinned Sammy Brooks multiple times, including once via an almost pornographic spladle at Carver-Hawkeye).

According to this 24/7 scouting report Keuter's NFL comparison is Leighton Vander Esch. https://247sports.com/Player/Ben-Kueter-46118691/ The Cowboys drafted Vander Esch in the 1st round, pick 19. His rookie deal was for 4 years, $11.84 million, fully guaranteed. He then signed another 2 year deal worth $8 million ($5 million guaranteed). So if the comparison is accurate and he has a career like Vander Esch (who has had injury problems which is why his extension is "only" for $8 million) he's still looking at about $15 million guaranteed. I'm guessing that would be about $14.5 million more than he would make lifetime if he stuck to collegiate/freestyle wrestling.

I imagine he's equally passionate about football though.

Ok, still at 3 years...a NFL player will have made MILLIONS more than even the best collegiate wrestler. The point is wrestlers get paid diddly and squat, even if they elite. You can be a NFL player no one has heard of and still make way more money.

If he has even a smidgen of a chance to make the NFL (e.g. a chance at being drafted) it would be pretty stupid to focus on wrestling instead of football. A 7th round pick will make more money in a 5 year NFL career than a multiple time Hodge Trophy winner who goes on to win Olympic medals. Sad but true.

Because it's more fun to claim that Cael can't coach...he just recruits all the best wrestlers who are already good

Same number as Iowa currently

I'm an Iowa hater but don't you think it's a little unfair to assume Terry hasn't matured or evolved as a coach in the last 20 years?

Awesome. Is he getting a masters or PhD?

He's downstairs drilling right now...

May I suggest this young man for Terry's associate head coach?

May I suggest Scott Goodale as the new HC?

Honestly, it is pretty crazy that Terry Brands, with all of his personal and coaching accolades, can't get a HC job.
