Snyder, a native of Greensburg, Pennsylvania and a senior at Mt. Pleasant Area High School outside of Pittsburgh, is currently the top-rated heavyweight high school wrestler in Pennsylvania, and is ranked the 10th-best scholastic heavyweight in the country as ranked by Wrestling International Newsmagazine (W.I.N.).
"We are excited about signing a student-athlete of Paul's caliber," Shifflet said. "He is talented, tough and aggressive, and still has great potential as a championship-caliber college wrestler."
Snyder posted a 43-6 record and placed third at the Pennsylvania High School State Championships in 2007 as a junior. The 6'0", 265-pound senior also placed seventh in the state championships as a sophomore in 2006 recording a 44-7 record. The Vikings of Mt. Pleasant placed third in the Pennsylvania Championships in 2006 and were fourth in 2005.
The Hofstra Pride, ranked 14th in the country with a 3-3 dual match record, return to action on December 29-30 when they compete in the 28-team Southern Scuffle in Greensboro, North Carolina.
