Teagan Holmes '26 Recruiting Profile

Dear Coaches,

I am passionate about two main goals: pursuing a future in competitive wrestling while also developing my skills in cosmetology. Both paths are incredibly important to me, and I believe they complement each other in shaping who I am as an athlete, a student, and a person.

In wrestling, my goal is to compete at the highest level, continually improve, and represent my team with dedication and integrity. I believe my work ethic, discipline, and ability to persevere through challenges set me apart from other recruits. Wrestling has taught me how to push through adversity, stay focused on my goals, and collaborate with teammates to achieve success. Wrestling is more than just a sport, it’s a lifestyle. I thrive in high-pressure situations and am committed to being the hardest worker in the room, whether in practice or competition.

I am deeply committed to living out my faith, and my involvement in church and youth group has been central to my personal growth. Through these experiences, I've learned the importance of leadership, service, and perseverance—values I carry with me both in life and in athletics. Wrestling has become an avenue for me to further live out my faith by demonstrating discipline, integrity, and respect for others. I believe that through wrestling, I can not only challenge myself physically but also be a positive influence on my teammates, showing that faith, hard work, and character can intersect in powerful ways. As I pursue wrestling at the collegiate level, I am eager to continue growing in my faith and using the sport as a platform to serve others and share the values that are most important to me.

In academics, I am focused on pursuing a career in cosmetology, which requires a different set of skills but a similar mindset of hard work, precision, and creativity. My passion for beauty and self-care, combined with my academic drive, has shaped me into someone who values learning both in and out of the classroom. Balancing these two passions—wrestling and cosmetology—has made me extremely organized, driven, and adaptable, qualities that I believe would be an asset to any team.

What makes me different from other recruits is not just my athleticism or my academic pursuits, but my character. I am someone who takes responsibility for my actions, values teamwork, and believes that success comes from both individual effort and group support. I am always eager to learn, always striving to improve, and always looking for ways to help others along the way.

I am excited about the opportunity to bring my passion for wrestling, my drive for excellence, and my unique perspective on balancing athletics and academics to your program. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,  

Teagan Holmes
