The University of Arkansas at Little Rock has named Neil Erisman at the first head coach of its new wrestling program, Athletic Director Chasse Conque said Wednesday.
Erisman has coached six seasons at the Division I level, including Oklahoma State and North Carolina, while coaching 20 NCAA All-Americans and four NCAA individual champions.
“My family and I would like to thank Chasse Conque, Chancellor Andrew Rogerson and the UA Little Rock community for welcoming us to the Trojan family,” Erisman said in a statement. “I am very excited for this opportunity, and I’m looking forward to getting to Little Rock to begin my work as the Trojans’ first head wrestling coach.
