Outlook: A product of Seckman High School, Jake Glore was coached by two former Missouri wrestlers and caught the attention of Tiger Head Coach Brian Smith during summer camps. Glore is likely to wrestle at 197 pounds and will use his redshirt season to compete in tournaments and enhance his mat skills. "Jake was coached in high school by two former Missouri wrestlers, Cody Greene and Kevin Herron," Smith said. "Cody and Kevin came up to me last season and mentioned that our staff needed to take a good look at Jake. He's a talented wrestler who has placed in all three major tournaments. He's really a sponge in the practice room. He's learning a lot from Max (Askren) and will provide Max with an excellent wrestling partner." High School: A three-time All-American, Glore earned three letters in wrestling and was a high school state finalist his senior year (2008). Glore was also a member of the Jaguars' football team and earned All-District and All-Conference honors as a linebacker and fullback. In his senior year (2008), Glore took fifth in Greco and seventh in Freestyle competition in Fargo, N.D. Competing at Senior Nationals in 2008, Glore finished the tournament in sixth place, winning seven matches in a row to tie the tournament record. The first NHSCA All-American from Jefferson County, Glore was ranked 16th in the nation at 215 pounds by Intermat. Personal: Jake was born Aug. 11, 1989, to Bill and Susan Glore in Imperial, Mo. He has one brother, Joshua (15). Glore is a secondary science education major and hopes to pursue coaching high school wrestling after college.
