Outlook: Only the second North Carolinian to compete on the Missouri wrestling team, Nick Gregoris turned down several high-profile Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) programs in order to be a part of the Tiger's nationally-ranked squad. Gregoris is a 157 pound grappler and has developed quickly in his short time at Missouri. The Tiger wrestler shows similar attributes to current teammate Raymond Jordan and will likely compete for a spot in Missouri's lineup within the next year.

"Nick is the second wrestler to come to our program from the state of North Carolina," Missouri Head Coach Brian Smith said. "If he's anything like our other wrestler from North Carolina, (Raymond Jordan), we know he's headed for great things. He's got a great work ethic and he's a smart wrestler. He turned down several top ACC programs so that he could compete in the Big 12."
