Minnesota Golden Gophers coach Brandon Eggum also commented on Steveson’s future in Amateur Wrestling.

“This does not close the door on Gable’s college eligibility or his ability to return to the Gophers. We are excited to watch him do what he does best and put on a show this weekend in his WWE debut.”
