It will do exactly the opposite of what you want
Judo will compliment wrestling, bjj will actively hinder it

My sons BJJ coach is also a high school wrestling coach, so I imagine there is much crossover. Also where he trains is an mma gym and they teach some wrestling stuff. Don't know if this helps though...

they're wildly different, but you should know both. Sure though, learning bjj is still learning grappling, and thus will make you a bit better at wrestling, but nothing will make you better at wrestling than wrestling. Why can't you wrestle more instead of supplementing with bjj? if you must go the bjj route i'd recommend open mats where you can ask people to start standing up, most bjj guys are happy to.

Not really - if you want better wrestling, just train wrestling
BJJ is, in a way, just lesser (because it's not the main focus) wrestling + submissions, and you can't do submissions in wrestling, so if wrestling is your focus then what exactly does BJJ give you that just wrestling more would not?

It will help you more in the off season than if you were to do nothing. As the other Anons said judo may be a better fit and simply wrestling would be best.

Adult wrestling is an untapped market, someone should invest

Judo would be a better fit, as you could at least use the stand up grappling skills and take downs, where as BJJ is kind of like everything you're not supposed to do in wrestling, aka submission holds, chokes, fighting from your back etc...
