WILKES-BARRE, PA (July 9, 2026) -- The King's College wrestling program has announced the addition of Drew Feldman as an assistant coach, head coach Aaron Perez announced, adding an experienced coach with a proven track record at the collegiate and high school levels to the Monarchs' staff.
 
Feldman brings more than a decade of coaching experience to King's, most recently serving as the head wrestling coach at Keystone College after being hired in September 2023. In addition to leading the men's program, he was also selected to guide Keystone's women's wrestling team into its inaugural NCAA season in 2026-27.
 
"We are very pleased that Coach Feldman has chosen to join us on the Monarch wrestling staff this season," said Perez. "Drew's passion for the sport will be a huge benefit to the recruiting, development and retention of our student-athletes here at King's. Having another coach on staff with deep ties to the local community and years of valuable experience put our program on track for a great season going into the 2026 campaign."
 
Prior to Keystone, Feldman spent seven seasons as the head assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Wilkes University. During his tenure, he assisted with all facets of the program, including athlete development, competition management, recruiting, and daily operations. As recruiting coordinator, he traveled extensively to evaluate prospective student-athletes and help strengthen the Colonels' roster.
 
Feldman also enjoyed considerable success at the high school level. As an assistant coach and strength and conditioning coach at Wyoming Seminary from 2015 to 2017, he helped guide the Blue Knights to a national No. 1 ranking, an Ironman Tournament championship, and a perfect 24-0 dual-meet record.
 
Before joining Wyoming Seminary, Feldman served as head coach at Wyoming Valley West High School from 2012 to 2015. Under his leadership, the Spartans captured multiple conference, district, and division championships, while producing six district champions, two regional champions, six state qualifiers, three state medalists, one state finalist, and seven NHSCA All-Americans. His efforts earned him 2014 PIAA District II AAA Coach of the Year honors as well as the PIAA District II Officials Sportsmanship Award.
 
"I am honored to be joining the coaching staff at King's College," said Feldman. "It is a very prestigious program with a rich tradition beginning with Coach McGinley and a strong future under the guidance of Coach Perez."
 
Feldman added that King's presents an exciting opportunity to continue coaching at the collegiate level and contribute to the continued growth of the Monarch wrestling program.
 
"I would like to thank Coach Perez and the King's College athletic department for giving me the opportunity to continue to coach at the NCAA Division III level," said Feldman. "I still have the passion to coach at a high level and this is a tremendous opportunity for me here at King's College to help contribute to a program that is on the rise and on the brink of being a consistently nationally ranked program."
 
A graduate of Wilkes University, Feldman was a standout wrestler for the Colonels. During his collegiate career, he recorded three consecutive second-place finishes at the conference championships, won the 285-pound title at the 2008 King's College Monarch Invitational, helped Wilkes capture the 2009 Metropolitan Conference championship, earned NCAA Division III Academic All-America honors, and served as team captain during his senior season.
 
Away from athletics, Feldman serves as a third-grade learning support teacher in the Wyoming Valley West School District.
 
As an assistant coach, Feldman will assist with all aspects of the King's wrestling program, including recruiting, athlete development, practice planning, and competition preparation.
