Head coach Tom Ryan has led the Ohio State wrestling program to unprecedented heights, culminating in 2015 when he helped the Buckeyes capture their first-ever team title at the NCAA Championships. Under his leadership, the Buckeyes have seven Top 3 NCAA finishes, including runner-up showings in 2008, 2009, 2017, 2018 and 2019, and have won three Big Ten team titles (2015, 2017, 2018). Ryan has also helped recruit and develop some of the most decorated individual wrestlers in program history, headlined by four-time national champion Logan Steiber. Overall, six different Buckeyes have won 12 individual national titles during his tenure, including Steiber and Olympic gold medalist Kyle Snyder (2016, 2017, 2018). Ryan came to Ohio State after establishing Hofstra as a national power from 1995 through 2006. In his 17 seasons at Ohio State, Ryan’s dual record is 198-66 (.750) with an overall record of 307-148-2 over 29 seasons.
