Ohio State wrestling coach Tom Ryan announced a couple of key changes to his coaching staff on Friday, and they are two familiar faces.

With the departure of Tervel Dlagnev earlier this year, Logan Stieber will join the program as an assistant coach and will continue to be the head of the Ohio Regional Training Center. Additionally, Bo Jordan has been officially promoted to an assistant coach after serving the last three seasons as a volunteer assistant.

“I couldn’t be happier with the composition of our staff,” Ryan said. “Adding a wrestler of Logan’s caliber is obviously amazing but it’s his overall being that should excite Buckeye Nation. He is extremely knowledgeable, well respected, and just an all-around great person. Promoting Bo Jordan was equally important to our program. I’m happy to be able to recognize the job he has been doing and look forward to his continued growth as a great coach.”

There is no denying the impact Steiber had collegiately and on the international level. Here are just some of his accolades and awards.

  • World Champion (2016)
  • Four-time NCAA Champion
  • Four-time Big Ten champion
  • 2015 Hodge Trophy winner
  • Member of the 2015 NCAA Championship Team
  • 119-3 collegiate record
  • .975 winning percentage is highest in school history

Bo Jordan is also one of the icons of Ohio State wrestling. His collegiate resume is astounding as well.

  • Four-time All-American
  • 2017 NCAA finalist
  • 2017 Big Ten Champion
  • Three-time Big Ten finalist
  • Four-time Academic All-Big Ten
  • Five-time OSU Scholar-Athlete
  • Three-time NWCA All-Academic

The program has been one of the best in the NCAA over the last few years, and there’s little doubt it will continue to be with the caliber of coaches and wrestlers overseeing things in Columbus.
