Missouri Tigers men’s wrestling announced on May 5 the signing of transfer Luke Geog, according to head coach Brian Smith. Geog, who is from Upper Arlington, Ohio, has been with Ohio State since 2022 and brings significant collegiate experience to the team.
Geog qualified for the NCAA Championships twice at 197 pounds during his four seasons in Columbus. His best performance came in 2026 when he reached the Round of 12, finishing one win short of All-American honors. Over his college career at Ohio State, Geog compiled a record of 50-23 overall and went 23-12 in dual meets. He achieved a career bonus rate of nearly forty percent with eighteen technical falls and two pins.
During his time as a Buckeye, Geog was named to the Academic All-Big Ten team twice (2024 and 2025) and was recognized as an Ohio State Scholar-Athlete both years. On the freestyle circuit, he finished second at the U23 Nationals in Geneva, Ohio in 2025.
Before college, Geog competed for St. Edward High School in Lakewood, where he was a two-time state finalist at 170 pounds and won an individual title in 2022. His high school accomplishments also include third place at Fargo Nationals (junior division) in 2021 and winning an NHSCA National Championship that same year.
“I chose Mizzou because of the culture and the belief the coaches have in me. Excited to get to work with the guys and accomplish our goals,” said Geog about joining Missouri Tigers wrestling.
Smith said about his new recruit: “Luke beings high level experience from wrestling in the Big 10 and having success at the NCAAs. We are excited to bring him into the room and get to work.”
