Jared Haught enters his second season as volunteer assistant coach at his alma mater.
In his first season on staff, Haught helped mentor heavyweight John Borst to a national ranking during the 2019-20 season. Borst was a 2020 NCAA Qualifier and earned third place at the 2020 ACC Championships. Haught also worked with Hunter Bolen, who won the 184-pound title at the 2020 ACC Championships and was the No. 2 seed for the 2020 NCAAs.
Haught was a two-time ACC champion, four-time NCAA qualifier and a three-time All-American for the Hokies from 2014-18. As a senior, Haught became only the second Tech wrestler and the first West Virginia native to make it to a national final when he reached the championship match at 197 pounds at the 2018 NCAA Championships in Cleveland. He placed sixth at NCAAs in 2016, fourth in 2017 and second in 2018.
The Parkersburg, W.Va., native earned his degree in mechanical engineering from Virginia Tech in 2018. Haught and his wife, Morgan, reside in Blacksburg.
