Outlook: Jacob Guerrant walked onto the Missouri wrestling team at the start of the school year and is expected to develop his mat skills while competing in various tournaments throughout the 2008-09 season. Guerrrant is one of eight wrestlers certified to compete in the 157 pound weight class and will add depth in the practice room.

"Jake walked onto our program this fall and has done a great job at practice," Missouri Head Coach Brian Smith said. "A wrestler from Fulton, Mo., it's always nice to have local talent on the team."

High School: Coached by Eric Hudson at Fulton High School, Guerrant finished fifth in the 160 pound weight class at the Missouri State Championships his senior season (2008). As a junior, Guerrant wrestled at 152 pounds and was an honorable mention at the State Championships. Guerrant earned four high school letters in wrestling as well as being voted MVP of his team multiple times. In addition to competing on the Hornet wrestling team, Guerrant was also a member of the football program.
