Ashworth, who finished his UW career this spring with 121 wins to stand sixth on the program's all-time list, will compete in senior freestyle under the WWRTC banner this fall while also serving as a volunteer coach for the Cowboys.
"I can't tell you how fortunate we are to have Branson with us," UW coach and WWRTC director Mark Branch said in a release. "Branson's presence in our room will have an enormous impact on our middle and upper weights. I am also very excited to see what he can do on the senior circuit."
