Jeff Stone was a 3-time NAIA All-American on Hall of Fame Coach Dr. Vince Monseau’s legendary West Liberty wrestling teams of the mid-1990s and went on to serve his country for more than two decades as an officer in the United States Marine Corps.
After redshirting as a freshman, Stone earned his first NAIA All-America honor on the hilltop as a sophomore with a 6th-place finish at the 1993 NAIA Nationals and followed that up with a 5th-place finish at the 1994 Nationals.
As a junior, he was made one of the captains for the Hilltoppers’ 1995 NAIA national runner-up squad. Jeff earned his third straight NAIA All-America honor with a 4th-place finish at 150 pounds.
An outstanding student who had already completed his degree requirements in December, Stone opted to forego his final year of athletic eligibility and accept an offer to attend Officer Candidates School (OCS). He was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant and served with distinction for 22 years in various locations both at home and abroad before retiring from the Marine Corps as a Lieutenant Colonel in 2017.
Jeff continues to serve his country as the Senior Marine Instructor for the Hendersonville (Tenn.) High School Marine Corps Junior ROTC, located just outside of Nashville.
