I am extremely excited to announce the hiring of Matt Lackey as our newest member of the UB Wrestling Coaching Staff. Matt will fill the head assistant coaching position at UB effective immediately.
Coach Lackey brings a great deal of experience to the program in both the collegiate and international styles of wrestling. As a collegiate wrestler, Matt was a 2003 Division I National Champion, 3X all-American, Academic all-American and Big Ten Male Athlete-of-the-Year at the University of Illinois. He is a two-time Olympic Trial qualifier and took fourth at the 2008 U.S. Senior Nationals. An Illinois native, Lackey won two high school state championships. He brings to our program experience, intensity, intelligence and is a person with great character.
I have had the privilege to know Matt for many years and I am confident that he is a great fit for our staff and for our wrestlers.
This is an exciting time for UB wrestling and Coach Lackey will surely help our program take the next step at the national level. I would like to welcome Matt and his family to UB!
Coach Jim Beichner
