Dominick Moyer Position: Assistant Coach Experience: 2nd Season Alma Mater: Nebraska, 2007

Northern Illinois head wrestling coach Dave Grant knows talent when he sees it, which is why he didn't hesitate in adding three-time NCAA qualifier Dominick Moyer to his coaching staff.

"Dominick is a motivated coach that is very interested in taking this program to the next level," Grant said.

Moyer, who enters his second season on Grant's staff, assists in NIU's recruiting efforts and serves as the team's liason with Student-Athlete Academic Support Services.

He wrestled for the Cornhuskers from 2002-07 and qualified for the NCAA Championships three times from 2005-07.

In 2007-08, Moyer was at Nebraska as a volunteer assistant coach with the wrestling team, where he assisted in practice planning and academic development. Moyer also took charge of administrative duties and team travel to open tournaments.

"He's had a lot of success on the national level," Grant said. "He has been involved with one of the top programs in the country as both a coach and a competitor."

During his senior season at Nebraska, Moyer compiled a 28-9 record at 141 pounds that included a second-place finish at the Big 12 Championships. Moyer also placed at the tournament as a junior, when he took third, and as a sophomore, finishing as the runner-up at 133 pounds.

"He brings a lot of expertise to our wrestling program, and we're very excited to have him on our coaching staff," Grant said.

Moyer is a 2007 graduate of Nebraska with a degree in health sciences.
