This is for Husker Fan.

You make some good points about the lack of heavier weight divisions. I agree there should probably be another weight class between 185 and 200 to fit those "light Heavy" guys into.
You are probably right that many football players do not wrestle because they do not want to lose weight. But, wrestlers do not have to lose weight to be part of the team. Those bigger guys that have aspirations of playing football at the next level would realize an increase in much of their agile ability. Wrestling is especially great for lineman becauase wrestling teaches balance, one on one combat/hand fighting (which is seen in the trenches), foot work, and stamina. The list can go on. How many times do you see successful D1 football players who have wrestled in high school and have one state medals from their respective high school state tournaments. I have seen quite a few Beddor, Boyle to name a couple. Besides the guy lined up next to you on the football field isn't always in the same weight class anyway. So if a kid weighs 230 it would probably make him better to wrestle someone 260 or so. I think any football coach would be silly not to encourage his football players to wrestle as well. 3 months of wrestling is going to do as much as 3 months in the weight room. Muscles may not get as big, but better agility will be gained.
Thank you
