LAKELAND, Fla.—Southeastern University wrestling coach
Travis Patrick announced the hiring of
Koby Reyes as an assistant coach to his staff.
Reyes previously worked with Patrick at Arizona Christian University, helping qualify five wrestlers for the NAIA National Championships which included the program's first All-American last season.
"It is important for me to fill out my coaching staff with men who love the Lord, love the sport of wrestling, and are eager to mentor the athletes in our program," said Patrick. "Koby's knowledge and passion in each of these areas is obvious and I believe will go a long way in helping our guys jump levels on and off the mat."
An accomplished prep and collegiate wrestler, Reyes was the 145-pound Montana AA State Champion and was a four-time state qualifier. He went on to wrestle collegiately, finishing his career at Purdue University.
The Fire are coming off a 7-5 season that saw the program's first two NAIA National Champions in
Andreus Bond and
Kyle Kirkham.
