About the Coaches

Princeton is led by Head Coach Joe Dubuque, in his second season at the helm after joining the program in 2016. Dubuque is joined by new assistant coaches Anthony Ashnault and Cody Brewer in their first seasons with the Tigers.
Dubuque, a two-time NCAA Champion at Indiana, has transferred his impressive wrestling career into an equally impressive coaching one, helping coach Princeton's first NCAA champion since 1951 and second ever (Patrick Glory) in 2023, also having the Tigers take 13th place nationally that year. He also helped Princeton take the Ivy League Title in 2020, the program's first since 1986.
Brewer joins Princeton this season after spending five years at Virginia Tech, where he helped Joey Prata ascend the national rankings and achieve a third-place finish at the 2020 ACC Championships.
Ashnault was the 2019 NCAA Champion (149 lbs), and he leads Rutgers in all-time wins with 123 victories. The Hodge Trophy finalist, four-time All-American and three-time Big Ten will stay in his home state of New Jersey as he joins the Tiger bench this year.
