Some unexpected news on the banks arrived this afternoon as Head Wrestling Coach Scott Goodale announced Anthony Ashnault would be stepping down as an Assistant Coach to focus more on his international freestyle wrestling career.
Ashnault, the all-time leader in wins at Rutgers and a 2019 national champion, released a statement through Rutgers official communications to make the announcement.
“I am excited to make a full-time commitment to competing as a freestyle athlete,” Ashnault said. “Coaching at Rutgers this past season has given me a tremendous amount of insight and has revitalized my excitement for wanting to compete at the sport’s highest level.
