Hoffman earns promotion at Bucknell

Former Virginia Tech All-American David Hoffman will take over as Dan Wirnsberger's top assistant on the Bucknell wrestling staff, Wirnsberger announced on Monday. Hoffman's promotion comes after he spent his first season with the Bison coaching the varsity lightweights and helping guide 133-pounder David Marble to an appearance at the NCAA Championships in 2007.

Hoffman, a Spring City, Pa. native, graduated from Tech in 2006 where he was a four-time NCAA Championship qualifier and an All-American his senior year. During his career with the Hokies, Hoffman compiled a record of 116-32, including 19 major decisions, five technical falls and 38 falls. He also earned Freshman All-America honors from Amateur Wrestling News in 2002.
