Oklahoma State wrestling: Ethan Kyle named Stillwater High School wrestling coach

Ethan Kyle is heading back to Stillwater.

The former Oklahoma State wrestler will be the new head coach for Stillwater High School, the school announced Tuesday night.

Kyle, a 2007 OSU graduate, was a member of OSU’s four NCAA championship teams at 133 and 141 pounds from 2003-06 and served as the 2007 team captain. He served as a graduate assistant at OSU before joining fellow former OSU wrestler Mark Branch’s staff at Wyoming, where he earned a master’s degree in health and kinesiology in 2015. Kyle most recently was the associate head coach and recruiting coordinator, where he planned a major role in UW starting to gain roots in Colorado.

Kyle will have two returning Class 6A state champions with two-time champ and senior-to-be Chase Young (132) and rising sophomore Cael Hughes (106). Young is ranked No. 93 in FloWrestling’s Class of 2021 national rankings, and Hughes is No. 31 for Class of 2023.
