DAVIDSON, N.C. – Head coach Nate Carr Jr. has announced the hiring of Alan Clothier to the Davidson Wrestling coaching staff. Clothier comes to Davidson after serving as the assistant coach at University of Buffalo.
Coach Carr's Thoughts
'I am excited to welcome Alan Clothier to Davidson," said Head Coach Nate Carr Jr.
"Alan brings elite experience to our program," said Carr. "He was a four-time NCAA qualifier that wrestled at App State at Northern Colorado," Carr added.
"Along with the experience wrestling at the NCAA tournament, Coach Clothier has also been able to develop three NCAA qualifiers in just two seasons at Buffalo as an assistant."

Alan Clothier joins Coach Nate Carr Jr.'s staff after serving as Buffalo's assistant coach during the 2023-24 season. He was also a volunteer assistant for the Bulls in 2022-23 before being promoted to full-time assistant.
Before coaching, the Lawrence, Kansas native wrestled at App State for three years before transferring to the University of Northern Colorado. He was a four-time NCAA Qualifier at 184 pounds, a three-time placer at the Big 12 Championships, an NWCA Scholar All-American, and a First Team Academic All-Big 12 selection.
Over his five-year career, Clothier amassed a 97-51 overall record including a team-leading 26 wins in his first season (2019-20) at UNC where he placed fourth at the Big 12 Championships. That season, he went 9-2 in duals, placed seventh at the Southern Scuffle, and won both the Northern Colorado Open and the Cowboy Open.
At App State, Clothier went 47-25 during his redshirt freshman and sophomore seasons. He was a two-time All-Southern Conference selection and a back-to-back runner-up at the SoCon Championships at 184 pounds while also helping the Mountaineers to conference titles in 2017 and 2018.
"I am really looking forward to joining Coach Carr's team and getting started at Davidson," said Clothier. "This is an incredible opportunity to have an impact on the student-athletes and help the Davidson wrestling program continue to grow."
