Billy you are an idiot as you prove time and time again. Just because a kid weighs 125lbs doesn't mean he can't play football. One of our CB last year, David William, also a 3x HS SQ, was an outstanding All-League CB in the NCAA, which includes Southeast of Saline, Minneapolis, and Sacred Heart to name a few. All are State caliber football teams that have a tradition. David also played against Norton and Phillipsburg without any problem being 125lbs. I bet you say that Clay Madden as well has "no business" on a football field. If memory serves me right he is a starting CB and WR as well as a great wrestler.

This is not 5/6A wrestling powerhouse country. It's western kansas where the best athletes are those that are all around atheletes. I bet you that less than 10% of the athletes in western kansas focus on just one sport. Perhaps a correlation to why western kansas has been so dominate in the tradition of kansas wrestling?

Just because you're big doesn't mean squat. It doesn't guarantee an easier transition into wrestling. You're still going to face kids your size and probably have more skill than you do as you would if you were 103lbs instead of 275lbs.

This right here is a prime example. Apparently neither paid for the bills for you in college because wait you aren't wrestling anymore, or playing football. Common sense would tell you do what you want to do. Oh tell Jeff Horinek of Atwood that you should only do one sport in High School because colleges like 1 sport atheletes and tell me what he tells you. I guarantee you that playing more than 1 sport didn't hurt his chances of greater success.

I was 5'0 96lbs my freshman year play football and wrestling and then golf. What!? A kid that small playing football yes but guess what I am still here and I was weak (not that I'm much stronger now but) and I was tiny. I got abused everyday like a tackling dummy and it only made me stronger and more determind. Wrestling only added to that, and golf took my mind off it all.

I was maybe 5'3 115lbs my sophomore year and still played football and wrestling (SQ) and then did pole vaulting on top of those two.

I was 5'9 128lbs my junior year and I still played football and wrestling. I wasn't very big and still got drilled in practice but I bet that didn't add to the mental toughness required for wrestling in anyway.

I was 6'0 145lbs. when I graduated high school after playing football and wreslting (SQ). I was never very big and playing football developed not only mental toughness but a physical toughness that did transition into wrestling.

If anyone tells you that wrestling and football have no correlation or any other sports for that matter they are stupid! There are aspects of every sport that help with others.
