- See Less -Jeremy Spates at a very early age had been exposed to the best wrestlers in the country and even the world. And by the time he entered college he had been at the NCAA championships eight or so times as a spectator. He took this experience and became a solid leader for the up and coming University of Missouri Tigers. As a three time captain Jeremy contributed to a complete turnaround of a program that had been year in and year out near or at the bottom of the Big 12 conference. He now is taking that leadership and is coaching the Oklahoma University Sooners.
