Four-Time Tennessee State Champ Part of Mocs Incoming Class

With classes well underway at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, GoMocs.com continues its breakdown of the wrestling program's incoming class.  Head coach Kyle Ruschell has put together a strong group that fits in well with some experienced returners.

This week's profile takes a look at Gallatin, Tenn., native Noah Horst.  Horst wrapped up an outstanding career at Chattanooga's Baylor School, where he won the 132-pound TSSAA Division II title.

That was the fourth title in a row for Horst, who plans to major in Civil Engineering at UTC.  His performance helped Baylor to its state-record 16th traditional team trophy.

"It's always great to get a local standout like Noah," stated Ruschell. "The Baylor School is an incredible program that we're grateful to have in our backyard.  Noah could be starting a pipeline that could be incredibly beneficial to our program."

A member of the National Honor Society, Horst also excelled in the classroom.  As a senior, he was the Tennessee State recipient of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame's Dave Schultz Award.  This honor recognizes and celebrates the nation's most outstanding high school senior male wrestlers for their excellence in wrestling, scholastic achievement, citizenship, and community service.

"I'm particularly excited to have Noah when it comes to adding to the depth to our middle weights, something we haven't had yet," added Ruschell. "It's going to be a lot of fun watching him battle in the room."
