DURHAM, N.C. — Duke wrestling head coach Glen Lanham announced Tuesday the addition of Jacob Mann to the 2026-27 Blue Devil wrestling roster.Â
Â
A native of St. Louis, Missouri, Mann joins the Blue Devils from Princeton, where he competed at three weight classes during the past two seasons. A three-time Missouri high school state champion, Mann will wrestle at 157 pounds at Duke.
Â
Mann registered eight victories during the 2025-26 campaign, competing at 141 and 149 pounds and posting a 2-1 record in dual matches. He collected four wins at the Franklin & Marshall Open and also competed at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational, Bloomsburg Open and Patriot Last Chance Open.
Â
During the 2024-25 season, Mann compiled an 11-11 record while wrestling at 141, 149 and 157 pounds. He earned six dual-match victories, picked up three wins at the Princeton Open and added two victories at the Midlands Championships.
Â
Prior to his collegiate career, Mann was a four-time Missouri state finalist at Ladue Horton Watkins High School under head coach Kevin Clawson. He captured state championships as a sophomore, junior and senior, finishing his high school career with a 160-8 record.
Â
Mann capped his prep career with an undefeated 36-0 senior season at 138 pounds. He went 42-2 at 126 pounds as a junior and 30-1 at 120 pounds as a sophomore after compiling a 52-5 record at 106 pounds as a freshman.
Â
His success extended to the national stage, where he earned All-America honors at Fargo and twice at the National High School Coaches Association championships. Mann also earned UWW Cadet All-America recognition and placed at the Super 32 competition.
Â
Mann is enrolled in the Master of Management Studies program at Duke's Fuqua School of Business for the 2026-27 academic year.
