North Carolina wrestling head coach Rob Koll has announced the addition of former Tar Heel wrestler Evan Henderson to his coaching staff in January 2026.

Henderson, most recently an assistant coach at Lehigh, returns to Chapel Hill following his athletic career with the Tar Heels from 2011-16.

During his time as a student-athlete, Henderson compiled 125 victories and two All-America finishes in 2013 and 2014 at 141-pounds. The Pennsylvania native was a two-time Atlantic Coast Conference champion, at 141-pounds in 2013 and 149-pounds in 2016.

On the international scene, Henderson was a two-time National Team member, 2022 World Team Trials finalist, 2020 US Olympic Team Trial qualifier, and a six-time US Open placer.

Henderson was an assistant coach for one season at Campbell, and the last three seasons at Lehigh. During his time at Lehigh, the Mountain Hawks posted six All-Americas and nine EIWA champions individually, and three-straight top-20 finishes at the NCAA Championships as a team.

A 2016 graduate of UNC, Henderson earned his degree in interpersonal communication and organization, with a minor in coaching. He and his wife, Carly, have two daughters, Tully and Remy.
