Recruiting followers, please tell me IU is looking at DT and wrestling...

For college, would he prefer football or wrestling?
Success in both sports is not unusual, but at some point an athlete has to choose which direction he wants to go. Frankly, from what I have seen through the years a football player who was a good high school wrestler is usually a very good college football player because of the balance and overall strength that wrestling requires. Rarely do you see an athlete pursue both sports in college. Any idea what this guy prefers at the next level?

Scout and 247 indicate there is at least initial interest from Indiana. Not sure what sites you checked before asking, but I found that fairly quickly through Google.

yes please. Reminds me a lot of Mike Neal (Purdue) that's also
From Merrellville. 18 sacks in two years. An anchoring NG with strength and ability to get low and hold is vital to a 3/4.

He started at DT for Merrillville as a freshman. For a big school that has produced lots of talent, that's saying something. During his soph yr, a story up here mentioned IU, MSU, Illinois and a few others, but hadn't seen anything lately. I've seen this kid since he played jr bulldogs in Crown Pt. He can probably pick his sport since he's a monster in both.
there was a good wrestler from IN
who ended up on the dline at OSU. Think it took 3 years for him to see the field but played eventually. Can't remember his name.

Correct. Dexter Larrimore was a DT and wrestler at Merrillville. Word was he and Hep really hit it off too. Unfortunately for IU, OSU liked him too. Game over. I'm pretty sure in the fall of '04, the Pirates had Neal as a senior and Larrimore was a junior. Nice hs D-line!!!
