Nick SotoDirector of Athletics Kris Swogger announced the hiring of Nick Soto as the new head coach of the Keiser University wrestling team.
Soto said on being named the head coach, "If you're on the Flagship campus, it doesn't take long to realize that Keiser University is a special place. As a Florida native, I know first-hand how great the wrestling community is. From the start, this program has taken pride in being a home to seniors in Florida and across the country and I plan to build on the foundation that Coach Bertolone has laid alongside Coach Marcus. I want to thank President Vonk, Athletic Director Kris Swogger, and the incredible leadership team at Keiser University for trusting me with this position. The future is bright for this program and let's get to work!"

Off the mat, he completed the NWCA CEO Leadership Academy.
