Charleston, S.C. – Todd Wojtkowski has been hired as an assistant coach for The Citadel's tennis program, head coach Toby Simpson announced Wednesday. Wojtkowski comes to The Citadel after spending two years on the nationally ranked Ohio State Buckeye men's tennis team.

Wojtkowski, a native of Columbus, Ohio, spent three years playing at the University of Toledo before transferring to Ohio State. As a scholarship student-athlete at Toledo, Wojtkowski was a three-time Varsity T award winner, Team Leadership Award winner and team captain.

Immediately upon transferring to Ohio State, Wojtkowski redshirted his senior year to come back and play his redshirt senior year, academically his first year of graduate school, as the Buckeyes won the Big Ten Championship and rose to a No. 5 national ranking. At Ohio State, Wojtkowski worked tirelessly on and off the court and was honored with several awards, including the Ohio State Scholar Athlete Award, the 2006 Senior Leader Award and the Men's Varsity “O” Post-graduate scholarship.

“I am extremely excited to have Todd join our program,” said Simpson. “Todd is going to help enhance what is already becoming a solid program in the Southern Conference. His experience both on and off the court will be a valuable asset to the program and it speaks volumes of both our program and our school to be able to lure such a quality person to The Citadel.”

Wojtkowski begins his duties immediately at The Citadel, replacing former assistant coach Grant Reynolds who left to coach in his hometown of Richmond, Va.
