Cal Poly Hires Three-Time All-American Mike Evans as Assistant Coach
SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. — Mike Evans, a three-time NCAA Division I All-American wrestler at the University of Iowa, has been hired as an assistant coach with the Cal Poly wrestling program.
Evans joins fifth-year head coach Brendan Buckley and third-year assistant coach Scotti Sentes on the Mustang coaching staff. Brandon Hatchett remains on the staff as a volunteer coach.
Evans, who placed second three times and third once in the Big 10 Conference Championship from 2012-15, compiled a 107-27 career mark with the Hawkeyes in addition to a 22-2 mark during his redshirt season (2010-11) while wrestling unattached.
“I am very excited to welcome Mike Evans to the Cal Poly wrestling program,” said Buckley. “Mike hails from the legendary University of Iowa Hawkeye program and understands the type of commitment required to compete for an NCAA title.
“Mike was always an exciting wrestler to watch at the NCAAs and, as a three-time NCAA All-American, our team will have an accomplished wrestler to work closely with and learn from,” Buckley added. “Mike impressed me on his interview and has the type of mindset that will benefit our entire program. We can’t wait to begin working with him.”
Evans was sixth at the NCAAs as a sophomore, junior and senior and claimed a pair of titles at the Midlands Championships. He posted 16 pins, 15 technical falls and 24 major decisions in his four varsity seasons at Iowa and Evans was 58-11 in dual meets.
At Blair Academy in New Jersey, Evans was 165-8, including a 52-0 mark as a senior, and claimed prep state and national titles at 189 pounds in his senior year. He is a three-time Pennsylvania freestyle and Greco-Roman state champion and also played football in high school.
Evans, who earned his bachelor’s degree in recreation and sport business last May at Iowa, has worked as a wrestling camp clinician, coordinator and counselor for youth and prep wrestlers throughout the country while wrestling at Iowa.
