Hannibal, MO – The Hannibal-LaGrange University wrestling program is
pleased to have signed Brady Sloup from Quincy, Illinois. Sloup wrestled for the
Quincy High School Blue Devils in Quincy, IL and graduated in May of 2012. Sloup
wrestled in the 120 lb weight class for the Blue Devils and is planning on
wrestling in the 125 lb weight class for the Trojans next year. Sloup compiled
a career record of 111-35. Prior to his senior year season being cut short due
to an injury, Sloup compiled an impressive 29-1 record.
“I’m excited to have Brady
wrestling for us next season. After getting hurt and not being able to compete
at state, I know Sloup left high school wrestling with a bad taste in his mouth.
After a year off of wrestling Sloup is hungry for competition. I’ve seen him at
open mats and he is intense and has heavy hands for a light wrestler. Sloup is
a hard worker and every year in high school he got better and did the things in
the off season to get better. At the J Robinson 28 day Intensive Wrestling Camp
Brady was recognized as a top 5 wrestler. I am confident that we will see much
improvement in Brady’s wrestling ability as he has the opportunity to build on
the foundation his high school coaches laid. I’m looking forward to having Brady
in the room next season”, said HLGU Head Wrestling Coach Scott Hawes.
Sloup was also a captain for
the Blue Devils his senior year and all-conference wrestler in the Western Big
6. Sloup is also the first Quincy High School wrestler to wrestle for the
Trojans.
Sloup will be majoring in Criminal
Justice at HLGU.
