Assistant Coach
Cody Brewer enters his second season as an assistant coach at Virginia Tech.

During the 2019-20 campaign, Brewer was instrumental in Joey Prata's rise through the national rankings and his third-place finish at the 2020 ACC Championships. Brewer also tutored Collin Gerardi through his first year as a starter, as well as Bryce Andonian. 

Brewer previously spent three seasons on staff at Northwestern following a standout career at Oklahoma. With the Sooners, Brewer was a two-time Big 12 champion, a four-time All-American and an NCAA champion in 2015.
 
At Northwestern, Brewer worked with the Wildcats’ lightweights and mentored two-time All-American Sebastian Rivera. Brewer’s work with Rivera this past season helped Rivera win a Big 10 championship and earn the No. 1 seed at 125 pounds at the 2019 NCAA Championships. He spent his first two seasons in Evanston as a volunteer assistant coach before being promoted to assistant coach this past season.
 
Brewer went 95-22 and 48-10 in duals in his career at Oklahoma. He was a Big 12 finalist in each of his four seasons and placed seventh, eighth, first and third at nationals from 2013-16. Tech assistant coach Jared Frayer was on staff at Oklahoma, his alma mater, from Brewer’s true freshman campaign in 2011-12 through his redshirt sophomore season in 2013-14.
 
A native of Kansas City, Missouri, Brewer graduated from Oklahoma with a degree in sociology and is engaged to his fiancée, Rachel, who wrestled at Oklahoma City University.
