If he is really interested in Medicine, there is no reason for him not to wrestle at a big DI school. Tannebaum did it a few years ago and in the late 1980's Jim Martin won a NCAA at Penn State and is now a Doctor.
Here is an article from SI on Martin and his college roomate, Ken Chertow, who were both Pre-med students at Penn State:

I recall hearing Chertow got into Med school and started classes, but dropped out because he found his heart was not into.

Some amusing stories about Chertow in the article as well:
Chertow visited Penn State and bunked with Tim Flynn, then the Nittany Lions' 134-pounder. At 6 a.m. on the first full day of Chertow's visit, Flynn, who's now a Penn State graduate-assistant coach, was awakened by the sound of labored breathing. "I didn't know what the heck was going on," Flynn says. "When I opened my eyes, there's Kenny doing push-ups on the floor."
