Nick Suriano has his sights set on the Olympics.

The Rutgers wrestling national champion is going to take a redshirt for the upcoming season in order to chase a spot in next year's Olympics, according to a member of his family. A second source also confirmed Monday night.

Suriano, who was a four-time undefeated NJSIAA champion at Bergen Catholic, became Rutgers' first NCAA champion back in March. Now, he'll attempt to become one of six wrestlers representing the U.S. at the 2020 Summer Games in Tokyo.

The Olympic Trials will be held April 4-5 at the Bryce Jordan Center at Penn State.

The most likely Olympic weight class for Suriano is 57 kilograms (125.7 pounds). Suriano wrestled at 125 pounds his freshman and sophomore years but moved up to 133 pounds before his title-winning junior season. The next-lowest Olympic weight class is 65 kg (143.3 pounds).

Suriano does not have much recent experience in freestyle wrestling, a style used in the Olympics that has slight rule differences from folkstyle, the style American fans are familiar with from high school and college wrestling.

But his most recent freestyle bout was promising: He beat former world medalist Joe Colon, 3-1, at the Grapple at the Garden showcase in May.

Suriano is not enrolled for the Fall 2019 semester, according to the Rutgers student directory. The possibility still exists that he could re-enroll for the Spring 2020 semester, rejoin the team and use his final year of eligibility if he changes his mind.

If Suriano, who wrestled his freshman season at Penn State before transferring to Rutgers, sits out the whole year, he will retain one year of eligibility to wrestle for the Scarlet Knights in the 2020-21 season.
