Description

Billy Ashnault wrestled at Rutgers University from 2010-2012 after transferring from Lock Haven.  He talks about growing up in South Plainfield, NJ, a town with an excellent wrestling program, his tremendous high school career, what led him to Lock Haven, and what led him to transfer to Rutgers, wrestling in a few different weight classes, qualifying for the NCAA Championships 3 times, and coming within one win of being an All-American.  Billy also chats about joining the Rutgers Wrestling coaching staff as the Director of Operations after he graduated, spending 7 years in that position.  During that time, his brother Anthony wrestled at Rutgers, so he touches on what the player/coach relationship was like.  Billy describes what watching Anthony win the 2019 National Championship was like, getting married a week later, and his current position as head coach of Christian Brothers Academy High School Wrestling.
