BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Campbell wrestling and head coach Scotti Sentes have announced the hiring of TJ Dudley as an assistant coach.

"TJ brings a wealth of wrestling and coaching knowledge with him," Sentes said. "What I am most excited about though is his energy. He is just a great energy guy that seems to light up the room, and I think it is going to make him an excellent motivator. I think he's going to be a big asset to our team."

Dudley joins the Camels from Brown University, where he was on the staff for three seasons.

Dudley wrestled collegiately at Nebraska, and he was a three-time All-American at 184 pounds. He finished eighth, second, and third in his sophomore-senior seasons. He qualified for the NCAA Championships in all four years, and he placed in the Big Ten Championships three times.

Campbell adds Dudley a year after qualifying five wrestlers to nationals and heavyweight Taye Ghadiali becoming the second Campbell wrestler to be named an All-American.

Dudley's emphasis will be coaching the higher weights, as he looks to help guide Ghadiali to more success at the national level. He'll also help coach Levi Hopkins at 197 pounds, who was third in the nation in pins last year and finished sixth at U23 Nationals before representing the United States at the U23 Pan-American Championships, where he went 3-0 and won the gold medal.
