The Citadel wrestling interim head coach Luke Welch announced the hiring of former standout Dazjon Casto as the program's new assistant coach on Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2025.
Casto competed for The Citadel from 2018-2022 as a four-year starter on the mat, notably notching the 157 lbs SoCon individual title during his senior campaign while also punching his ticket to the NCAA DI Wrestling Championships on two occasions, initially at 165 lbs and later at 157 lbs. He collected multiple distinctions throughout his time as a Bulldog as well, including SoCon All-Freshman and All-Conference team recognition, and currently ranks eighth all-time in program history with 82Â career victories.
Following graduation from The Citadel in 2022 with a degree in sports management, the Pennsylvania native returned to his home state for postgraduate study, competing for one year at Pitt while completing a master's in communication relations.
