Jason Schweer"I'm really excited about having his experience and his familiarity with the program," said head coach LeRoy Gardner. "He already has relationships with this team and has been a big part of our success. Most of our seniors were part of our first recruiting class together so it is definitely special to have him back. There are many aspects to a program that are difficult to understand until you've experienced it as a head coach, so it is priceless that he's sat in the chair. We're excited and looking forward to working together in what is a pivotal year for our wrestling program."
A native of Waverly, Iowa, Schweer guided one wrestler to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) Nationals last season at Kansas Wesleyan. At Ozarks, he was part of the staff that posted the program's first winning record. Prior to Ozarks, Schweer served as a volunteer assistant coach for two seasons at Grand View University, helping the program to a pair of national championships. In his time there, the program produced 24 national qualifiers, 20 All-Americans and six individual national champions.
Schweer wrestled at North Iowa Area Community College for two seasons and then at Grand View, helping the program to the 2012 NAIA national title. As a collegiate student-athlete, he was a two-time NJCAA Academic All-American and a NAIA Daktronics Scholar Athlete.
Schweer received his bachelor's degree in sports management from Grand View in 2012. He attended the National Wrestling Coaches Association Leadership Academy in 2019.
