Austin DeVoe

Head Coach

DeVoe took over as Mines' Head Wrestling Coach in July 2014, and since then has rebuilt the Oredigger program into a national contender with multiple RMAC titles and All-Americans during his tenure. Through the 2024-25 season, DeVoe has compiled three RMAC titles, eight all-Americans (including two national finalists), and seven Academic All-Americans. The Orediggers have won 89 duals under DeVoe including nine consecutive winning seasons and the only four double-digit win seasons in program history, including a program-record 11 wins in 2022-23 and then 13 in 2024-25.  DeVoe took over full-time after one season as the Interim Head Coach during the 2013-14 season. For the previous two seasons prior to his interim season, DeVoe served as an assistant on the Mines coaching staff.   Since taking over the program, DeVoe has constructed a complete turnaround that culminated in Mines' first-ever RMAC championship in 2018-19 as the Orediggers went 11-3 overall (a modern-era record for wins) and 6-1 in the conference. DeVoe was named the RMAC and NWCA Regional Coach of the Year as the Orediggers qualified four wrestlers - the most in a decade - to NCAA Championships. Noah Ottum became DeVoe's first Academic All-American while Weston Hunt won the NCAA regional title at heavyweight. DeVoe was also named the recipient of the prestigious Bob Bubb Coaching Excellence Award from the NWCA after the season. The 2019-20 season saw Mines repeat as RMAC champions and qualify four to the NCAA Championships, which were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic; in the shortened 2020-21 season, Mines sent two wrestlers to NCAAs including national heavyweight runner-up Weston Hunt, who became the first Oredigger since 1998 to reach a national final. Both he and Anderson Salisbury were named All-America. The 2021-22 season continued the success as the Orediggers went 8-2 in duals and were in the national rankings all season. The icing on the cake came at nationals, however, when Mines finished 11th thanks to repeat podium finishes by Hunt and Salisbury, along with a solid run by true freshman Grayston DiBlasi, to mark the best team finish for Mines at NCAA Championships since 1996. In 2022-23, Mines set a program record for dual wins going 11-2, and qualified four wrestlers to the national tournament, tying the most during DeVoe's tenure. The success continued in 2023-24 with an 8-2 dual season as Cody Thompson won the regional 149-pound title and went on to make a run to the NCAA national final, earning NWCA Regional Wrestler of the Year honors after his outstanding season. In 2024-25, Mines went a perfect 7-0 to win the RMAC championship once again, and spent most of the season in the NWCA top 25. The Orediggers went 13-2 overall in duals as DeVoe earned the RMAC Coach of the Year honor and Wyatt Reisz advanced to the NCAA Championships.  Prior to the 2018-19 season, Mines had posted multiple program bests in duals in 2015-16 (8-4) and 2017-18 (10-2) marking the best dual record since 1960. DeVoe has had two all-Americans (John Crowley and Jacob Gerken) during his tenure, and Paul Wilson captured the 2016 RMAC and NCAA Super Regional titles en route to a national #1 ranking at 197 pounds. Prior to his time at Mines, DeVoe served as the Assistant Wrestling Coach at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, coaching 10 student-athletes to the NCAA Division I National Tournament.
