Hannibal, MO – The Hannibal-LaGrange University wrestling program is pleased to have signed Rowdy Miller from John’s Creek, Georgia. Miller wrestled for the Chattahoochee High School Cougars in John’s Creek, GA. Miller wrestled 152 lb weight class last season and is planning on wrestling in the 157 lb weight class for the Trojans next year.

Miller finished his High School career record with 106 wins which put him in the 100 win club.  

“Because of the distance the first time I watched Rowdy wrestle was on the web, and when he came for his campus visit I had a chance to see him wrestle with some of our current wrestlers. Miller faced some injuries in his sophomore and junior season and he stayed dedicated and overcame obstacles to finish 4^th in Georgia. His losses in the state tournament were to the state champion and state consolation champion. He has a mental toughness and dedication that got him there. I am impressed with his character and hard work. I can tell Rowdy has had a family that supported him and coaches who have trained him well. Rowdy loves wrestling and he believes in our program. He is enthusiastic about wrestling for HLGU next year. I’m looking forward to his enthusiasm and hard work in the room”, said HLGU Head Wrestling Coach Scott Hawes. When Rowdy was asked, “Why did you choose to wrestle for HLGU?”  Rowdy replied, “ I felt like this school could bring me to my full potential as a wrestler and a student.”

Miller will be majoring in Mathematics at HLGU.

Miller is the son of Jeff and Karen Miller.
