COLLEGE PARK, Md. – University of Maryland wrestling head coach Kerry McCoy announced the addition of four-time NCAA All-American and 2004 NCAA runner-up Tyrone Lewis as an assistant coach for the Terps on Thursday.
Lewis, a native of El Reno, Okla., arrives in College Park after spending two seasons as a volunteer assistant at Oklahoma. Prior to his two-year stint in Norman, Lewis served as an assistant coach at Oklahoma State for three seasons.
“I am very excited to have Tyrone join our program,” said McCoy. “He was one of the best wrestlers on one of the nation’s best teams at Oklahoma State, and has coached for two of the country’s most storied programs.
“He brings a ton of knowledge and experience with him. He has already and will continue to provide a positive impact on the Maryland wrestling family.”
In his time with Oklahoma, the Sooners finished in the top 15 at the NCAA Championships twice with Kedric Maple capturing the 141-pound national title last season.
