I missed my opportunity, going to a high school that didn't have a wrestling program. I am in the military now, studying BJJ and Judo. I want to be a college wrestler when I get out of the military. I will be 24 years old. I feel that I am in tip top conditioning. But wondering if I will be to old to qualify. Also is it impossible to be a college wrestler without high School experience. I have the desire. Thanks
If you've got the option, the military actually has some great wrestling programs.Quote:

I believe there was guy who was about 40 that went to college and ended up playing football. eligibility is the key.

Randy Couture wrestled at Okla State after his military service. I thnk he was around 26 years old his Senior year
I'm 47 and still have a year of eligibility remaining.
I went to a community college for half a semester before dropping out and enlisting in the air force. I did not play any sports. Does this mean I am still elegible? I am not trying to wrestle at d1 level. I am wanting to wrestle at a community college. Thanks
The University of Southern Maine is a dIII program and they had a 41 year old wrestle in their lineup this year. Article can be seen here:http://www.pressherald.com/sports/th...011-02-11.html
