If I can speak for Jared. He left because he felt a higher calling. Jared was a very valued member of the staff. Not only did he coach the middle school kids, but he helped with the high school as well. Jared was a rule-10 coach that was just finishing at Butler. BUT, he has a sense of duty, dedication, and honor that led him to apply to the ROTC program at K-state. He was recently accepted into the program. It was not an easy decision for him to make, to leave our team, but one I fully supported. He will join a long list of previous wrestlers and fine men that make us proud by serving us as protectors of our nation.
