Crapps on Choosing Tiger Style

“Everyone wants to win and be the best. My family background and the morals I was raised with correlate with Tiger Style. When I saw the big screen at the football game and it said, “Mizzou means HOME”, that’s when I really knew. The coaching staff is tremendous, and the guys like myself, that the coaches are bringing in are hungry and ready to beat those Penn State and Iowa teams.”
Coach Smith on Crapps

“An outstanding talent from the state of Georgia. Jake brings the intensity to the mat every match. He has performed at an elite level at high school and in National tournaments. Jake is also going to participate in ROTC with the Army.”

UP NEXT

The Tigers will be back on the road on Feb. 23 to take on No. 17-ranked Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls. Mizzou will also take on Iowa State in Ames on Feb. 25. The UNI dual can be streamed live on FloWrestling.
