OREM, Utah — Adam Hall will be the next head coach of the Utah Valley University wrestling program, director of athletics Dr. Jared Sumsion announced on Thursday. Hall will take over the program following the conclusion of the NCAA Championships in March. Hall is currently in his ninth season on staff at No. 8 North Carolina State, where he’s worked under head coach Pat Popolizio since 2015. In 2019, Hall was promoted to associate head coach. “Adam Hall is poised and ready for this opportunity and we’re delighted he will be a Wolverine,” Sumsion said. “He’s had proven success with one of the top programs in the country and stood out among an amazing group of candidates. We’re elated to see Utah Valley Wrestling grow under his leadership as he builds this program on hard work, discipline, integrity, and grit. He is a servant leader who embodies the fearlessness of a wolverine.”
“I am overjoyed to become the next head coach of Utah Valley University Wrestling. I first thank my family for supporting me through the hiring process. I also want to thank President Astrid Tuminez, Vice President Val Peterson, Athletic Director Jared Sumsion, and the rest of the search committee for believing in my vision to take the program to the next level. The West, and specifically the state of Utah, has a strong history of successful college wrestlers and I am excited to build on that tradition. I look forward to creating a new level of success in Orem with the best young men who fit the mold and mentality of the program. I have spent the past 13 seasons preparing myself for this moment and I am incredibly excited to have the opportunity. Above all, I am grateful that God has blessed my family and me with this new journey.”
