Mizzou wrestling promoted Jarrett Jacques to its director of operations, the team announced via press release Tuesday.
Jacques, 27, spent two years as Mizzou's recruiting coordinator after wrestling for the Tigers from 2018-2023.
While competing at MU, Jacques went 102–40, tying for 26th in the program's all-time wins count. He qualified for the NCAA Championships five times.
“I am very excited to move into this new role with Mizzou wrestling, and I’m thankful to coach Smith for giving me this opportunity,” Jacques said in the release. “From my time as a student-athlete, to being recruiting coordinator, to now, I look forward to continuing to elevate Tiger Style for the next generation of Tigers.”
Jacques spent his junior and senior high school seasons at Tolton, going 94-0 during his time as a Trailblazer. He won four consecutive state titles, going 191-1 in his prep career. His lone defeat came via medical forfeit in his freshman season at Kirksville.
After graduating from Missouri, Jacques also has carved out a notable senior career, qualifying for the U.S. National Team in both 2024 and 2025.
"First, I recruited Jarrett, then I coached him, and then I hired him. Now we are elevating him to a full-time role, and it’s exciting because we have gotten to watch him grow; he buys into Tiger Style and what this program can do for young men,” coach Brian Smith said in the same release.
Mizzou finished with a 12-8 overall record in the 2025-26 season and is set to return two All-Americans, Aeoden Sinclair and Cam Steed, for the 2026-27 campaign.
