Your work ethic, toughness, and leadership left a mark on this program that won’t be forgotten. Once family, always family. Congrats graduates - now go dominate the next chapter. 🤼‍♂️🎓

🔥 OPENMAT NAIA FRESHMAN WRESTLER OF THE YEAR 🔥

Huge congratulations to Braydon Pacheco on being named the OpenMat NAIA Freshman Wrestler of the Year!

Braydon put together an incredible freshman campaign, proving what hard work, discipline, and relentless pursuit can accomplish. His commitment to the process, his toughness on the mat, and the way he represents Friends University Wrestling make this honor well deserved.

This is just the beginning.
The future is bright for Braydon and for Falcon Wrestling.

Built different. Built at Friends. 🦅

Please help us welcome our very own Braden Ledford as the first full-time assistant coach in Friends University Wrestling history!

Braden has been a tremendous leader for our program over the past two seasons after transferring from Ottawa. This past season, he capped off his career as an NAIA All-American at 125 lbs, setting the standard through his work ethic, leadership, and commitment to excellence.

Braden’s passion for this program and relentless drive will be a huge asset in his new role, and we’re excited to see the impact he’ll continue to make on Falcon Wrestling.

Once a Falcon, always a Falcon. Welcome to the next chapter, Coach Ledford! 🦅❤️🖤
