Binghamton Names LeBlanc Head Coach

Binghamton has got their guy! This afternoon, the Bearcat athletic department announced that Ryan LeBlanc will be the next head coach for Binghamton wrestling. The position has been vacant since Kyle Borshoff stepped down in early July, after leading the program for eight years. 

LeBlanc comes to Binghamton after spending the last five years as the head coach at The Citadel. During his run, LeBlanc had eight NCAA qualifiers. He’s fresh off of the best season in over a decade at The Citadel. In the 2024-25 season, the Bulldogs finished second in the SoCon and crowned three conference champions. Four of their wrestlers qualified for the national tournament. All four were either sophomores or freshmen. 

LeBlanc was able to have that success without a team that was loaded with big-name recruits, which speaks to the development after working with LeBlanc and his staff. 

Prior to his head coaching debut at The Citadel, LeBlanc spent time as an assistant coach at Appalachian State and SUNY-Cortland. 

LeBlanc is no stranger to New York. He was a two-time New York state champion at Morrisville-Eaton High School which is less than 70 miles away from Binghamton. After high school, LeBlanc starred for Indiana, where he was a three-time national qualifier and an NCAA Round of 12 finisher as a senior. 

Binghamton is coming off a 10-9 season in which they sent a pair of wrestlers to the NCAA Tournament. As of now, the Bearcats do not have anyone on the roster with prior NCAA experience.
