EDITOR'S NOTE: Scroll down for the latest information on this situation.
Remember one of Fratmen's latest update Nash who got all of you ooohing and aaahing (god knows how many loads he's illicited)? Well, he's just got hotterer!
An anonymous source has matched the cock of Nash to the face of one National Champion wrestler (the faces match too, of course). In addition, Fratman Cal (not as perfect as his predecessor, but almost!) who made his appearance right after Nash turns out to be a National Champion wrestler himself too.
Talk about a double whammy! Now we know where the boys earned those taut and hard bodies.
The coach has just released a statement about the investigation into the matter. We're 100% positive it's a match. We have no word if the contents are going to stay on Fratmen for now but will check and keep everyone posted.

Stay tuned to QueerClick for a more in-depth report (which we're working on right now) and new developments.
UPDATE 8/11:
It's a match! More photos after the jump!
UPDATE 8/11:
Sorry folks, Fratmen has got in touch a few minutes ago. It's alright to blog about the issue, however permission to use their images within this context has been withdrawn. That pretty much confirms our findings then. We had intentionally left out names and specific information about the boys from our earlier post, preferring to do responsible news reporting within our means. Furthering that fashion, we'd like to see to the studio's request. The models' faces on the preview section on Fratmen have been swapped with body shots. However, the videos and picture set are still available in the Members section AS OF RIGHT NOW. We don't need to remind you to grab them asap before you know what happens.
Sorry for those who missed the full coverage. We'll leave whatever we can up. If anything, let this be a gentle reminder to check back on QC more regularly! ;)
UPDATE 8/12: In seemingly contradictory developments, recent media reports indicate that Fratmen has refused to confirm the identities of the models to University officials, citing a policy to protect their models. However, these same news reports also state that Fratmen is working with the school to maintain the athletes' NCAA eligibility.
UPDATE 8/13: Since this story, complete with names, has appeared in every mainstream news source possible, we feel it's now safe to reveal all the details. According to ESPN, Paul Donahoe ("Nash") and Kenny Jordan ("Cal") were dismissed from the University of Nebraska wrestling team earlier tonight.
"The history of behavior of these men, including the current matter, does not reflect the standard of excellence we aspire to on and off the mat," coach Mark Manning said in a statement. "We have outstanding student-athletes in our program and we will move forward in a positive manner toward our goals. I want to personally apologize for any embarrassment that may have been caused for our athletic department, the university and our fans."
ESPN is also reporting that "Jordan and Donahoe have had a series of run-ins with the law in Lincoln. Jordan has paid fines for possessing or consuming alcohol as a minor, trespassing and assault, and Donahoe for maintaining a disorderly house and having an open alcohol container."
Says John Marsh, owner of Fratmen, "If Nebraska is going to be pigheaded and kick him off unreasonably there has to be another wrestling program that's going to want him... I'm in my mid-40s, and my generation has a stigma about porn. The kids, the generation of the student-athletes, don't have that stigma. They really don't care. They've come from a Paris Hilton, Tommy Lee-Pamela Anderson sex tape generation, Myspace pages," Marsh said. "The shame and stigma aren't there for them. They're mostly worried about what their parents are going to think, because their parents think it's horrifying."
UPDATE 8/15: Kenny Jordan ("Cal") has come out of hiding and confessed that he "messed up."
"I made a bad decision and I got in trouble," Jordan said in a phone interview with the Daily Nebraskan. "My punishment is definitely fair."
When asked how much he was paid for the photos and videos, Jordan hung up.
Paul Donahoe ("Nash") has yet to speak on the scandal.
UPDATE 8/15: When reached by phone by The Flint Journal — a newspaper near his hometown — Paul Donahoe ("Nash") said, "I can tell you that I am transferring and will wrestle next year. That's all I want to say now." He didn't indicate which school he will be transferring to.
The Flint Journal also interviewed two of Donahoe's teammates:
"I was shocked about the whole thing when I heard about it and it's really sad when some little stupid fling that he did puts him in such a tough situation," said Kyle Chittick, who now wrestles at Cleveland State University. "This is something I never even thought I'd ever hear about Paul, but I really feel bad for him that this one bad decision gets blown up so much. I don't think that's justified."
Chittick said he spoke with Donahoe soon after the news broke.
"I think he is more worried about his future in wrestling than anything else and this is the last thing he wanted to deal with as his senior year is coming up," Chittick said. "The last thing he wanted to do was leave Nebraska. Paul is one of the hardest working athletes I know and is a great student too. Nothing is going to keep him from going after his goal of winning another NCAA championship."
Chittick added he did not ask Donahoe for an explanation.
"I really didn't want to get into the reasons he did this," he said. "I just wanted to keep our conversation simple and supportive."
Trevor Perry, a two-time NCAA qualifier at the University of Indiana, was Donahoe's high school teammate from 2002-04.
"I really feel bad for Paul, bad decision or not," Perry said. "I can't imagine what he's going through. I'm sure he's in a lot of pain, but the Paul I know is going to deal with it and concentrate on the future."
UPDATE 8/22: The AP reports that this wasn't the first time the wrestling duo had violated NCAA rules: "Nebraska athletic director Tom Osborne says the two wrestlers dismissed last week after appearing on a pornographic Web site had run afoul of NCAA rules on a previous occasion. Osborne said Friday the athletic department had declared Paul Donahoe and Kenny Jordan ineligible once before for violating the extra-benefits rule. Osborne says the athletic department had to appeal to the NCAA to have the pair reinstated. Each was suspended one match."
UPDATE 8/26:
A QC reader recently sent us these photos of Nash (Paul Donahoe) and Cornhuskers wrestling coach Tom Osborne taken from University of Nebraska website before they were pulled down. Looks like the stunning wrestlestud and coach were quite close!
UPDATE 8/27:
Paul Donahoe ("Nash") has transfered to Edinboro University and hopes to compete as a wrestler during his second semester on campus. He has already started classes.
According to a Nebraska newspaper:
"I have two goals," Donahoe told the Erie Times-News on Monday. "I want to become the first two-time NCAA champ from two different schools. And I want to help the team get a trophy."
Donahoe declined to comment on the photos, on his dismissal from Nebraska's wrestling team or on reports that he or Jordan are considering a lawsuit against the university.
Asked if he was concerned scrutiny will follow him to Edinboro, the Times-News reported that Donahoe's eyes filled with tears.
"I'm just really thankful they have given me this opportunity to come here and finish my career," Donahoe said. "So far everyone I've met has been great."
Donahoe said several other schools expressed interest in him but declined to identify them.
"If we hadn't taken him, there is a line of schools, schools in the Big Ten, that would have taken that chance," Edinboro Athletic Director Bruce Baumgartner told the Times-News. "I'm sure we'll get some (criticism). People make mistakes all the time, and I think he deserves a second chance."
