Nate Engel Joins Army WCAP Women's Staff

Earlier this offseason, in one of our coaching carousel updates, we mentioned how Nate Engel had stepped down from his position on the Oregon State staff. Engel’s next move is public now as he’ll assume a role on the Army WCAP women’s coaching staff.

Engel had been an integral part of the women’s program at Oregon State’s Dam RTC. At various times, they have had Adeline Gray, Alex Glaude, Alyssa Lampe, Dom Parrish, Mallory Velte, and Skylar Grote training in Corvallis and working closely with Engel.

Before coming to Oregon State, Engel was on staff at Stanford and the Naval Academy.

The 2025 Senior World Team will feature one of the members of the Army WCAP program - Adaugo Nwachukwo along with one of Engel’s former pupils, Glaude.

In 2021, Engel was named USA Wrestling’s Women’s Coach of the Year. Two years earlier, Engel was named USAW’s Greco-Roman Coach of the Year. Engel has extensive experience coaching women’s freestyle overseas at various age group levels at continental and world championships.
