Mountaineer Wrestling
STUDENT-ATHLETE
DEVELOPMENT West Virginia University offers a variety of services and programs to help student-athletes maximize their academic potential. Department staff members work with coaches, on campus student service providers and faculty to help student-athletes meet the unique demands of the classroom, the sporting arena and the personal-social challenges they face as developing adults.
The Mountaineer wrestling program has enjoyed great success off the mat since Tim Flynn’s appointment in 2018, with WVU earning 20 Academic All-Big 12 honors. Additionally, rising redshirt junior Noah Adams was named a Scholar All-American by the National Wrestling Coaches Association (NWCA) in 2020. Adams was the first Mountaineer since Jacob A. Smith in 2018 to earn the honor.
