I wrestled in Ohio (Toledo St Johns) and this kid would have decimated me. I wrestled at 138 lbs tho

Yeah, of course. Big weight difference there. But this kid would get totally decimated by the state place winners in all the states I mentioned, probably across all divisions within those states too.

I'm gonna take a wild swing at this, but based on where his from and that country music...
Do you think he'd fit in? Or is this a case of Mario just turning culture around at the U and saying "I don't care, you work hard and you can play? You're in and if the other guys don't like it then they should work just as hard?"

With his strength yes he could definitely transition to BJJ with the right teacher he would be more than fine.

I’ve been a practitioner for 6 years, I’ve seen kids who were way smaller, way weaker with no background in wrestling at all become skilled grapplers with a year or 2 of proper teaching. All he would need to learn is how to pass guard from different positions in mount & he’d be good to go, although he’d probably get leg locked quite a bit until he learned how to defend against it.

And of course he would get washed by most Midwest & Northeast wrestlers, that’s literally their culture, those kids from those regions live & breath wrestling like kids in the Southeast live & breathe Football.

I wasn’t saying he can be an Olympic wrestler or even college level, my exact comment was he has a future as grappler if Football don’t work out, which is true, take him to a legit BJJ teacher & they would be more than happy to work with a kid that has his natural strength.

Bjj among other sports like that. Smaller weaker guys learn the techniques better. Bigger strong dudes usually lack technique and relay on using strength
 
Yeeeeeeeeeah, wont get my hopes up here. This kid could literally pull a "Teraz McCrary" on any school he commits to and flip to UF 10min before hes slated to sign his NLI if they call him. And UF knows that too.

if we had 7 of him on our front 7 we'd have the #1 defense in the nation, no more watching our boys get overpowered and plowed over on Run D
