Former Central Michigan wrestler Ryan Cubberly is in his fourth year as an assistant on head coach Tom Borrelli’s staff.
In 2019-20, Cubberly joined Borrelli and fellow assistant Ben Bennett in producing an outstanding year in which three Chippewas -- Drew Hildebrandt (125 pounds), Dresden Simon (141) and Matt Stencel (285) – earned All-America honors from the National Wrestling Coaches Association. Hildebrandt and Stencel were named to the first team, while Simon earned a spot on the second team.
Hildebrandt, Stencel and Simon were among six Chippewas – Drew Marten (133), Logan Parks (157) and Landon Pelham (197) were the others – to qualify for the NCAA Championships, and Stencel became the first CMU wrestler since 2013 to repeat as an All-American.
Cubberly helped lead the Chippewas to an 8-4 dual-meet record in 2019-20, closing the season with six consecutive victories, and an outstanding second-place finish in the Mid-American Conference Championships.
Hildebrant, Simon and Stencel captured individual MAC titles, the most the program has produced since 2012. No other team in the field, which expanded to 15 teams in 2020, had more than one individual champion. Simon earned the tournament’s Outstanding Wrestler Award.
It was Stencel’s third-consecutive MAC title as he became the 11th in program history to win at least three individual league crowns. Stencel led the nation in pins with 19 in 2018-19 and tied for second with 15 in 2019-20.
Cubberly earned three varsity letters at CMU from 2009-11 and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree witih a major in sports management and a minor in athletic coaching.
Cubberly worked as an assistant coach at Clay High School in Oregon, Ohio, from 2011-12.
He served as the head assistant at Ashland from 2012-15 before returning to CMU. He earned his Master’s of Education in sports management from Ashland.
