Clarion Open in November. Melvin would be a favorite to AA this season. Also, early enrollment means Melvin and Bo can wrestle together in college for four years. That scenario would give Robie and team a beautiful headache trying to manage the roster, but you pull the trigger if Melvin can complete enrollment requirements early and wants to wrestle. PJ Duke will eventually become the 157 #1 / NCAA favorite this season. He likely redshirts next season and Kasak uses his final season of eligibility. Scarily, a 5th year senior in Kasak might be an easier path to the NCAA championship than a true soph Duke. Has Jax confirmed he will wrestle this season or move to Stillwater in order to train at their RTC earlier in preparation for '26/'27?

Melvin Miller joining early rumor? -- donjfs3 Dec 26, 2025 at 12:20 PM ET

I personally say let him finish high-school -- Rokie08 Dec 26, 2025 at 07:35 PM ET

They can get paid sooner. So I expect we’ll see a lot more of this -- GreenvilleVT Dec 28, 2025 at 07:09 PM ET

GreenvilleVT • 12/28/25 07:09 PM ET

Agreed this is my position** -- donjfs3 Dec 27, 2025 at 02:09 AM ET

He has to finish i.e. graduate high school regardless, no?** -- Baltimore Hokie Dec 27, 2025 at 01:46 AM ET

Some schools and states have pretty loose graduation requirements** -- UpperQuad Dec 27, 2025 at 12:36 PM ET

He can greyshirt** -- texashokie1 Dec 26, 2025 at 07:48 PM ET

If that's the case I think that would be good -- Rokie08 Dec 26, 2025 at 09:58 PM ET

Makes a lot more sense than Bo this year -- Hikinghokie Dec 26, 2025 at 06:57 PM ET

I have a cautious take on the latest trend. -- Hokie Flyer Dec 27, 2025 at 11:14 AM ET

Several of them are older too. Lots of held back in elementary school -- GreenvilleVT Dec 28, 2025 at 07:06 PM ET

GreenvilleVT • 12/28/25 07:06 PM ET

I'm in agreement the only counterpoint is -- donjfs3 Dec 27, 2025 at 01:12 PM ET

Some seem more susceptible to the grind than others. Bo is super human so -- goodbadugly Dec 27, 2025 at 05:04 PM ET

He is just a Junior but would be amazing -- HokieInClifton Dec 26, 2025 at 05:53 PM ET

Yes this would be second semester of next year ** -- donjfs3 Dec 26, 2025 at 06:43 PM ET

I really don’t think Duke will se 157 again after this year** -- CTDad Dec 26, 2025 at 06:21 PM ET

I've seen no confirmation on Jax if he's wrestling or "greyshirting" -- donjfs3 Dec 26, 2025 at 03:10 PM ET

donjfs3 • 12/26/25 03:10 PM ET

As an 18 yr old junior he was probably held back at some point. Early -- Wilmington Hokie Dec 27, 2025 at 08:11 AM ET
