The Ohio State Buckeyes wrestling team represents the Ohio State University and competes in the Big Ten Conference of the NCAA Division I level.[2] The Buckeyes host their home meets at the Covelli Center on Ohio State's campus.[3]
The team is coached by two-time NCAA Division I All-American and two-time Big Ten Conference champion for the Iowa Hawkeyes Tom Ryan.[4] In 2015, he led the team to their first NCAA team title, finishing as runner-ups in 2008, 2009, 2017, 2018 and 2019. Currently, the Buckeyes have had five consecutive top-three NCAA team finishes (seven overall) and eleven top-eight team finishes in the last twelve NCAA championships.[5]
