However, I did read Parker Gabriel's article in the Lincoln Journal Star about Nash's official visit to Nebraska. I won't post the whole article, but here is the applicable portion:

After the folkstyle nationals, TrackWrestling pegged Hutmacher as the No. 8 overall wrestling prospect in the nation for 2020 and the top-ranked heavyweight. He has the chance to continue to back those rankings up as the summer goes on and then will wrestle for Chamberlain again next winter. He’s never lost since he’s been in high school – Hutmacher’s been wrestling varsity since he was in the seventh grade – and will shoot for a fourth state title next year.
That, though, will be the end of his wrestling career, he says. He’s planning on focusing solely on football once he goes to college.
“Obviously I’m going to miss the sport of wrestling a lot, but my theory on it is if I really want to be a really good football player, I’m going to have to kind of dedicate to my time to that,” Hutmacher said.
Hutmacher already naturally weighs nearly 300 pounds and part of the difficulty would be continuing to put on good weight for football compared with the weight limitations in wrestling.
“That would be a challenge and then just the wear and tear that would be on your body if you tried to do both sports in college,” Hutmacher said.
