Tom Ryan's coaching tree is growing another branch, as one of Ohio State's graduating seniors is starting his coaching career immediately after graduation.
University of Pittsburgh head wrestling coach Keith Gavin announced Wednesday that two-time All-American Luke Pletcher will join the Panthers staff as the volunteer assistant coach.
"We couldn't be more excited about Luke joining our staff," Gavin said. "He is obviously a very skilled and accomplished wrestler, but on top of that, I have always respected him for his approach to the sport, the way he competes and his character. Luke is from Western Pennsylvania and is a great overall fit for us.
