OUTLOOK:A transfer from Arizona State University, sophomore Todd Schavrien spent two years at ASU competing in the 133-pound weight class. Schavrien will face fierce competition in the practice room from redshirt freshman K.C. Pescaglia, but is expected to challenge for the starting spot in the lineup in Missouri's 133-pound weight class. Schavrien is the first Division I wrestler to transfer to Missouri in over 10 years.

"Todd is one of the first Division I wrestlers that has transferred to Missouri since I've been coaching here," Missouri Head Coach Brian Smith said. "He's a quality wrestler with a lot of great experience. Todd was hampered by injury last year at Arizona State. He wanted to come to Missouri and be a part of a team that's in the hunt for the national title. Todd really wants to make a difference and he will be an important element in our 10-man lineup."

Arizona State (2006-2008): Schavrien redshirted his first year on the Sun Devils wrestling team but took gold at the FILA Junior National Championships in the 60 kg weight class over the summer of 2007.

Roman of Oklahoma and then-Missouri wrestler Nick Velliquette).
