Michigan State wrestling added Big Ten alumnus Te'Shan Campbell to the 2022-23 coaching staff as a volunteer assistant, head coach Roger Chandler announced.

"Te'Shan brings a lot of experience as a competitor and as a coach," Chandler said. "There is no doubt he is a positive addition to our coaching staff, as I know he is driven to pass on his knowledge of the sport to our student-athletes so they can achieve their goals. I'm very much looking forward to watching the impact he will have immediately in our program."

Campbell spent the past two seasons as a full-time assistant coach at SIUE, where he helped coach two national qualifiers and 12 podium finishers at the MAC Championships in his time with the program. He joined the SIUE wrestling staff in September of 2020 following a yearlong volunteer assistant coaching stint at Kent State.

As a member of the Golden Flashes' staff, he helped coach the team to six dual meet victories in addition to landing three podium finishers at the MAC Championships in 2020. Campbell played a significant role in coaching the first MAC Champion at Kent State since 2015, as then-senior Tim Rooney captured the league title in the 133-pound weight class.

"I'm grateful and excited to begin this new chapter as a Spartan," Campbell expressed. "I'd like to personally thank coach Chandler, the staff, and athletic department for this opportunity. I'd also like to thank all of my former coaches that I've competed and coached under, for growth and development over the years. I look forward to bringing my experience and knowledge to the program as we pursue shared goals. Thank you Spartan nation for the warm welcoming!"

A standout wrestler at both the University of Pittsburgh and Ohio State, Campbell was a four-time national qualifier, making the round of 16 twice in 2017 and 2018 in addition to a top-12 finish in 2019. Campbell took down three top-30 wrestlers during his 2019 run at the NCAA Championships. Campbell was also named a U23 All-American at the conclusion of his 2018 campaign. He finished his career with an 82-37 overall collegiate record and a No. 10 national ranking.

At Pitt, Campbell was the 2017 ACC Champion at 165 pounds, compiling a 22-4 record during his conference championship campaign. The Pittsburgh native also starred at Penn Hills High School, ending his undefeated 2015 senior season with a state championship at 170 pounds.
