I would love to see HS adopt the collegiate rules.  This article that seems to confirm the proposal: https://www.courierpostonline.com/story/sports/high-school/wrestling/2024/04/05/nfhs-plans-to-announce-new-wrestling-rules-for-the-2024-25-season/73214903007/

The National Federation of State High School Associations Wrestling Rules Committee met earlier this month to discuss potential changes for the 2024-25 season. The committee is expected to make an announcement at the end of the month.

Some of the proposals included a takedown being awarded three points, near-fall would be two points (for a two count), three (three count) and four (four count); and an out-of-bounds rule where a single point of contact on the mat would allow wrestling to continue.

All three changes would line up with collegiate wrestling rules.

I like the college out of bounds rule but like you stated it just might not work here due to space.

College mats are not significantly bigger than high school mats.  A foot on the gym floor is still out of bounds.  I think this is a step in the right direction.
