After completing high school, Nolf pursued his graduation at Pennsylvania State University. Soon after graduating, Nolf was recruited by his university to wrestle at the Nittany Lions wrestling club. Meanwhile, he also clinched the titles for the 2017 NCAA championship and the 2017 Big Ten Championship. In addition to this, he also secured second place at the 2016 NCAA championships and the 2016 Big Ten Championships. 

In an exclusive interview with Flowrestling, Jason Nolf said, “I thought the college was lot easier than high school…I started creating separation because I started getting stronger, I felt like when I was in high school I wasn’t strong as the other guys I was wrestling. I pin most of the guys in high school but when I got to college I kept doing right things.”

Why was Noah’s Wrestling Experience at College Easier?

The primary reason for Nolf stating that his college experience was more manageable than high school is the time management at both places. At high school, Nolf was known for not only wrestling but also for his 4.5 GPA. This means that he not only performed well on the mat but also pushed himself to perform better in his studies. Thus, when he joined college, it was much easier for him to compete with fellow wrestlers.

 As in college, the time is not scheduled, and most students prefer taking afternoon classes. Nolf’s college experience was no different. he enjoyed devoting most of his time to wrestling in college, which made it a lot easier. In the same interview, he added, “I didn’t have to wake up at 6 AM everyday and go to school and have to get home at 11 PM every night. I wake up walk across the street, one practice walk, walk back hang out with Maddy.

Overall, the wrestling legend raises a serious issue that he felt during his school day, which is time management. Most of the students at high schools drop their sports careers to perform well in their studies. However, Nolf was not part of the crowd. Currently, he is training at Nittany Wrestling Club to compete for a 74kg Olympics spot. Will he make it to the Olympics this year?
