"We're excited to have Kyle join the staff as a full-time assistant," Moore commented. "His knowledge of American University wrestling and his experience will be an important tool in the recruiting process. Kyle's ability to organize and manage team activities are also valuable skills necessary to build our program."
Borshoff served as a volunteer assistant coach in 2010-11, helping American to its best season in program history. American placed fifth at the NCAA Championships and crowned three All-Americans, with rising-senior Ryan Flores becoming just the second Eagle to reach the NCAA Finals. American placed fourth at the EIWA Championships as Steve Fittery, Flores and Matt Mariacher each captured individual titles. The Eagles' 14 dual meet victories set a record for most wins in a season.
American also excelled in the classroom last year. The team was ranked second in the country in combined GPA, earning a record 3.4812. Six Eagles were named NWCA Academic All-Americans, setting a new NWCA record, while Flores and Daniel Mitchell posted the third and fifth-highest individual GPA's in Div. I wrestling.
Borshoff graduated from the Kogod School of Business in May 2010 with a degree in business administration. He was a two-time All-American as an Eagle, a two-time Midlands Placewinner and three-time NCAA Qualifier. He graduated with a career record of 102-39 and currently ranks fifth in career wins, fifth in career falls, fourth in career technical falls and sixth in career major decisions.
In his last season with the Eagles, Borshoff earned his second consecutive All-America honor by placing eighth at the NCAA Championships to become one of only four student-athletes in American history to earn multiple All-America honors. He finished the 2009-10 season with an overall record of 28-8 and a dual meet record of 16-0, and recorded four tech falls and four falls. Borshoff placed fifth at the EIWA Championships and seventh at the Midlands Championships as a senior, and was ranked as high as third in the InterMat College Rankings.
Borshoff earned his first All-America honor in 2009, placing seventh at the NCAA Championships and recording a 33-7 overall record. He finished third at the EIWA Championships and fourth at the Midlands Championships. Borshoff first qualified for the NCAA Championships as a freshman after a fourth-place showing at the EIWA Championships, making him the first true freshman in American history to qualify for Nationals.
