My educated guess is he’s going to go through spring ball with the football team as a DE, then they will release a “2 deeps”. He’s not going to be on it because there are guys who have not stopped playing, and we’re likely just as good as him to begin with. He’s going to get an offer from the wrestling boosters to give up football and he’s likely going to take it. Meaning he’ll have plenty of time to get in wrestling shape.
This could all change if he’s on the two deeps, but I can’t see it.
