I was debating on posting this in the wrestling forum but I chose to post it here because it is no longer a sport at Liberty.
Matt is a former wrestler at Liberty and was there the first time wrestling was canned by the University. He is in the Ohio HS hall of Fame for wrestling and was an assistant at Penn State and is just an awesome recruiter and person in general. COngrates and hope he does really well at his new coaching position...

This is indeed a proper forum. Of course this could fit in well in the Old Folks Home where we have had several threads on him in the past.

Congrats to Matt!
