Nick Sulzer, a three-time All-American at the University of Virginia, has been hired as an assistant coach of the New York University wrestling team. He will be focusing mainly in the practice room on skills development.

A 2015 UVA graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology, Sulzer went on to earn a Master in Higher Education Administration degree in 2015, also from Virginia.

A four-year member of the Cavaliers' Division I wrestling squad, Sulzer became only the second team member to earn NCAA All-America honors three times, all at 165 pounds. He twice was selected to the National Wrestling Coaches Association All-Academic Team and earned Virginia's Top Athletic Scholar Award and its Wrestling Leadership Award in 2015.

Sulzer's on-mat performances helped lead Virginia to the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Championship in 2015.

"To bring in someone with his credentials will be a tremendous help to our team and individual development," said Head Coach Bruce Haberli. "Our wrestlers are followers of the sport, and I'm confident they will respond extremely well to Nick."

Following his career as a student-athlete, Sulzer became an assistant wrestling coach at The Wrestling Factory of Cleveland from 2015-17, where he was responsible for implementing specific practice plans and mentoring young high school wrestlers.

"I'm really excited for the opportunity to give back and share both my wrestling and life experiences with the team and see what positive effects I can have," Sulzer said.

A native of Cleveland, OH, Sulzer currently resides in Manhattan.
