Nick Suriano to redshirt this year

Article stressing the fact he could come back the second semester. Willie also just mentioned that is a serious possibility at this point.
On the contrary, the upside can be a fantastic recruiting tool. Sure, we will miss a returning national champ in the lineup, but truthfully, this season's lineup is going to be young and will most likely be somewhat of a developmental type year for all these young guys. Will just make the lineup for the 2020-2021 season that much stronger. And remember, it isn't confirmed yet that he will in fact miss the entire season. Willie Saylor seems to think he could pull a Kyle Snyder (i.e., comes back for the 2nd semester and competes at Big Tens and NCAAs).
Suriano will come back in January if he doesn't qualify for Tokyo. If he does, he'll RS all season and come back to a loaded team in 2020-21.
He can't qualify for Tokyo before January. Olympic trials are two weeks after nationals.
For the Olympic trials, yes. But, not for Tokyo. He would need to win the trials to qualify for Tokyo.
Thank you for clearing that up. This whole Olympic part of the sport is new to me.
Nov 15-16 in NYC is a Olympic trials qualifying event and Dec 20-22 in Texas is another. Look for Nick to compete in both if he doesn't qualify for the trials he will be back at Rutgers in January
That's what I meant, as in, if he doesn't qualify for the Olympic trials then he would be able to enroll in January
how does the trials work?
is it like the NYC event is like a quarterfinals, Texas event is like a semifinals, and the official trials is the finals event?
or is it that if you are in top 2 to 3 of the NY or Texas event you automatically make the official trials?

RUfinal4-here is the qualification process. There are multiple ways to get to Penn State on April 4-5th. The trials are almost like two tournaments, you have all the guys that qualified and the World team members(starts next week) that medal in an Olympic weight will get a bye to finals. 57, 65, 74, 86, 97 and Hwt. So if Burroughs medals he will get a bye and wrestle the winner of the Bracket of all the guys that qualified. For a guy like Dake that is at a non olympic weight(79kg) if he medals and drops to 74kg(which is expected) he gets a bye to the semis of the bracket, so he would have to win 2 matches then wrestle Burroughs in a best of 3. Below are all the ways to Qualify for the Olympic Trials.

2020 US Olympic Team Trials April 4-5 2020 held at Penn State
I remember attending the Semi-finals for the Olympic Trials in 1992 at the Palestra in Philly. What a great event. I ended up sitting next to Dan Gable in the stands during the match. He was a nice guy to talk to.
There is no downside to a Rutgers athlete competing for the US National team.
