A freshman wrestler at the Missouri Baptist University Spartans tragically passed away.

Jaegar Hall was a redshirt freshman wrestler who competed at the 141-pound weight class for the Missouri Baptist University Spartans.

Standing at 5-foot-7, Hall hailed from Pinehurst, Idaho, where he built his wrestling foundation at Kellogg High School before making the transition to college competition.

As a redshirt freshman, Hall was still in the early stages of his college career, using the redshirt year as an opportunity to develop his skills, gain experience, and prepare for future competition at the NAIA level.

Despite being new to collegiate wrestling, Hall demonstrated a commitment to excellence beyond the mat.

In the 2026-25 season, he earned the prestigious AMC Wrestling Academic All-Conference honor, a recognition that highlighted outstanding achievement in both athletics and academics.
