Rider University Hall of Famer Doug Umbehauer ’09 joined John Hangey’s staff prior to the 2022-23 season. Umbehauer is one of 16 different Rider wrestlers to earn the program’s 18 All-America honors.
The 2025-26 season capped off an excellent campaign for the Broncs as the team went on to win the MAC East Title and the MAC Championship Title, with Tyler Klinsky earning All-American honors at NCAA's in the 125-pound weight class. Klinsky became the program's 22nd NCAA All-American and the 11th in the last 12 seasons. All together, five Broncs were sent to NCAA's in Cleveland, with Klinsky, Will Betancourt, Elijah Griffin, Dylan Layton, and Brock Zurawski all earning spots at championships.
It was another strong season for the Broncs in 2024-25, earning a dual meet win over 24th-ranked Maryland during the regular season before taking fifth at the MAC Championships behind four individual champions. At the NCAA Championships, Sammy Alvarez took seventh to earn All-America honors.
The Broncs secured a second-straight MAC East Division Dual Meet Championship in 2023-24 with a perfect 8-0 mark in conference duals. Quinn Kinner earned All-America honors with an 8th-place finish at the NCAA Championships.
Umbehauer placed third in the nation to earn All-America honors as a senior in 2009. He finished with a career record of 100-35 as a four-time NCAA qualifier and came within one win of All-America honors as a junior. A two-time CAA Champion and a two-time CAA runner-up, he was 24-5 as a senior and was the seventh seed at 2009 Nationals, where he defeated the second seed twice, including the battle to finish third. Umbehauer won 27 matches as a junior and 28 as a sophomore. He placed runner-up at Midlands before his junior season and was a Freshman All-American in 2006.
