University of Virginia Associate Head Coach Travis Paulson
Travis Paulson, a three-time All-American at the NCAA Division I level, is in his second season as an assistant coach with the Virginia wrestling program.
Paulson joined the Cavaliers after spending eight seasons at his alma mater Iowa State. He served as an assistant coach for the Cyclones from 2009 through 2017 before being named the interim head coach at Iowa State in February after the resignation of then-head coach Kevin Jackson.
“Travis has succeeded at every level in this sport,” Garland said. “His accomplishments, both on and off the mat, and as both a coach and competitor, are impressive. But, that’s not the most exciting thing about him. What drew me to Travis was the reputation he has in the wrestling community, especially with his student-athletes.”
