Former South Dakota State standouts Luke Zilverberg and Martin Mueller have returned to the Jackrabbit wrestling program in support roles, head coach Damion Hahn announced.
"It's great to have two guys who know what it takes to be successful on the mat stay connected with our program," Hahn said. "I'm excited to have our whole staff together as we work to continue to elevate Jackrabbit Wrestling."
Zilverberg will fill the role of recruiting coordinator. A native of Belle Plaine, Minnesota, he was a four-year starter from 2015-18 and was a two-time NCAA qualifier. He completed his career with a 99-48 overall record and earned All-America honors at 157 pounds as a senior, placing eighth.
Mueller joins the staff as a graduate assistant. The Rapid City native was a two-year starter at 184 pounds and earned a berth to the national meet during the 2017-18 season. He completed his career with a 46-34 record.
The Jackrabbits open the 2021-22 season this Saturday, traveling to the Bison Open in Fargo, North Dakota. The day-long tournament begins at 10 a.m.
