Tyler Nauman returns to head coach Brian Tucker's staff for his second year during the 2018-19 wrestling season.

Last season, Nauman helped the Griffins to their most successful season with 14 dual match wins.  SHU was also runner up in the NWCA National Duals.  The Griffins also sent four wrestlers to the NCAA Division II National Championships. 

Nauman joined the Griffins' after spending the 2016-17 season at his alma mater, the University of Pittsburgh where he served as volunteer assistant coach and was the Pittsburgh Wrestling Club head coach.  During that time he coached five national qualifiers.
 
Prior to his coaching stint at Pitt, Nauman began his coaching career at Drexel University where he coached two national qualifiers during the 2012-2013 season. After that he took the reigns as head coach at Belle Vernon High School from 2013-2014 and led the team to qualify three for the state tournament including a state place winner.  His coaching career then took him to South Park High School as an assistant coach where he had four state champions, five state placers, and five state qualifiers during two seasons.
 
In 2014, Middletown PA gained a new wrestling club. Nauman started his own wrestling club, Team Nauman.  Team Nauman has gained national recognition since its inauguration placing as a team at prestigious events such as NHSCA Duals and Disney Duals as well as placing individuals and crowning champions at FloNationals and NHSCA Nationals.
 
As a wrestler at Middletown Area high school Nauman placed at states all 4 years capped in his senior season with a state title and outstanding wrestler award winner.  After winning states he was chosen to wrestle on the Dapper Dan PA team and was also awarded outstanding wrestler of the dual.
 
His success on the mat continued at the University of Pittsburgh.  He was a four-time Eastern Wrestling League Conference Champion, a two time All American (earning 5th place honors on both occasions), a member of three conference championship teams, and most importantly, a team captain.
 
Nauman has etched his name in Pitt's record book after achieving the third-most wins of 41 wins and 39 falls in his career.
