BETHLEHEM, Pa. -- Lehigh head coach Pat Santoro has announced the addition of two-time NCAA Champion Vincenzo Joseph to the Mountain Hawks' coaching staff.

"We are really excited about the addition of Vincenzo Joseph to our coaching staff," Santoro said. "Being two-time NCAA champion, Vincenzo brings a wealth of championship experience and a deep understanding of what it takes to succeed at the highest level. His ability to connect with our team combined with his relentless pursuit of excellence, will strengthen our program as we continue to build toward national success. We look forward to the leadership, insight, and competitive edge he will provide to our athletes and staff."

Joseph comes to Lehigh from the University of North Carolina, where he served as the Tar Heels' recruiting coordinator for the 2024-25 season. Prior to his year at North Carolina, Joseph spent two years at Arizona State where he trained with the Sunkist Kids Wrestling Club and later served as the recruiting coordinator for the Sun Devils.

A four-time All-American wrestling for Penn State, Joseph won NCAA titles as a first-year (2017) and a sophomore (2018) before finishing as the national runner-up as a junior in 2019. Joseph was a first-team NWCA All-American as a senior. He was slated to be the No. 2 seed at the 2020 NCAA Championships when the tournament was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Joseph's an 89-9 overall record with 25 falls in his Penn State career.

On the freestyle circuit, Joseph is a two-time U.S. Open runner-up and was the World Team Trials runner-up in 2022.

The Pittsburgh native began his coaching career at Stanford for the 2021-22 season. At Stanford, Joseph coached a NCAA finalist and helped the Cardinal to a top 20 NCAA team finish.

Joseph graduated from Penn State in 2020 with a bachelor's degree in communication.
