August 31, 2018 | Wrestling
CHAPEL HILL --- Three-time All-American and 2014 NCAA champion Tony Ramos has been promoted to assistant coach for the North Carolina wrestling program, head coach Coleman Scott announced Friday. Ramos, who joined the staff as a volunteer assistant in 2016, brings a wealth of experience from both the collegiate and international ranks.
"I am very excited to have the opportunity to keep working with the the Carolina wrestling program," Ramos said. "Recruiting is a new role that I get to step into with this promotion, and I am ready to hit the ground running and get the Tar Heels competing for individual and team national titles on a regular basis."
Ramos replaces Neil Erisman, who departed earlier this year to become the first head wrestling coach at Little Rock.
"Tony has been a tremendous asset to our staff for the last two years and I am thrilled for him to take on this new role," Scott said. "His energy and enthusiasm for both wrestling and this university will make him a natural recruiter and a great leader for the young men in our program."
A decorated international wrestler in addition to his accomplishments at the University of Iowa, Ramos has been a staple on USA Wrestling teams over the last several years. A two-time U.S. World Team Trials champion and the 2018 U.S. Open champion, he is among the top-ranked American wrestlers at 57 kg.
Ramos is married to the former Megan Eskew, a volleyball team captain while at Iowa, and the couple has two sons, A.J. and Lincoln, and just welcomed a daughter, Calla, on August 30.
