Keegan O'Toole enters his second season with Mizzou wrestling, joining the staff on May 12, 2025, as assistant coach.
O'Toole recently concluded a legendary Tiger Style career as the program's first five-time All-American and third two-time NCAA Champion. In addition to his individual titles, which he won in 2022 and 2023 at 165 pounds, he claimed four conference championships, one in the Mid-American Conference and three in the Big 12.
Over his five seasons, O'Toole totaled 108 wins, putting him 19th on the all-time wins list for Mizzou, and tallied 20 or more wins in four out of five seasons. His .955 (108-5) career win percentage is second in program history, passing longtime club coach and mentor Ben Askren. Moreover, the Tiger's 22 career technical falls rank first in program history.
The two-time National Champion has plenty of awards and honors in his trophy case from his collegiate career. He earned Big 12 Wrestler of the Year in 2022, followed by the Amateur Wrestling News Hammer Award after his first individual national title. He won the 2024 Gorriaran Award at the NCAA Championships for most falls in the shortest amount of time, with three pins in 12:59. The grappler has also earned weekly honors six times, including USA Wrestling's Athlete of the Week in March of 2022.
O’Toole was also recognized as a hammer in the classroom during his Tiger Style days. He was named an NWCA Scholar All-American five times, 2021-2025. He was honored as Academic All-Big 12 thrice in 2022, 2023 and 2024. O'Toole was also named a College Sports Communicator Academic All-American twice.
O'Toole also saw success on the freestyle mat, winning two age-level world titles for the USA: 2021 U20 Freestyle (74kg) in Ufa, Russia, and 2023 U23 Freestyle (74kg) in Tirana, Albania. He also competed at three Real American Freestyle events prior to retiring from competition in July of 2026.
In his first full season on the coaching staff, O’Toole helped guide the Black and Gold to a 14th-place finish with 34 points and two All-Americans (Cam Steed, 5th-174 and Aeoden Sinclair, 3rd-184). At that tournament, Mizzou’s Jarrett Stoner was awarded the NCAA Elite Scholar-Athlete Award.
As a native of Hartland, Wisconsin, O'Toole claimed four state titles for Arrowhead High School, making him only the 18th wrestler from the state to accomplish such a feat and the first Warhawk to do so. His prep record of 110-5 remains one of the best in Wisconsin's history, earning him the Junior Dan Hodge Award and Dave Schultz High School Excellence Award.
O'Toole graduated from the University of Missouri with a bachelor's in personal finance planning in 2024 and is a self-proclaimed lover of business and taxes. He and his wife, Ellianna, were married in November 2024.
