CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Two-time NCAA All-America wrestler Chris Foca has joined the North Carolina wrestling staff as the program's recruiting coordinator, head coach Rob Koll announced Wednesday morning.

In his new role with the Tar Heels, Foca will assist the program in team travel, on-campus recruiting, match day planning and operations, donor relations and all program related events.

No stranger to working with Koll, Foca was recruited to Cornell during Koll's tenure with the Big Red, winning 95 matches during his four-year career. A four-time NCAA qualifier, Foca finished third at 174-pounds in 2023 and fifth at 184-pounds a season ago.

Prior to his time in Ithaca, Foca was a five-time member of the US National Team and the 2019 New Jersey state champion.

A 2025 graduate of Cornell, the Cliffside Park, N.J. native earned his undergraduate degree in real estate development.
